Sign up for Rush Hour Rewards and manage participation

If you’re a customer of one of Nest’s energy partners, you may be able to sign up for Rush Hour Rewards. You may also be eligible for a Google Nest thermostat rebate or even installation at no additional cost.

If you want to turn off a specific Rush Hour event, just change the temperature on your thermostat. To stop participation in all future Rush Hour events, you can cancel your enrollment in the program.

 For complete details about the Rush Hour Rewards energy program, go to Rush Hour Rewards.
