Upgrade to a WiFi Thermostat and CFU Will Cover 100% of the Cost up to $100

According to the Department of Energy, you can save as much as 5% a year on heating and cooling by simply adjusting your thermostat five degrees from its normal setting for eight hours a day when away from home or sleeping. 

The Department of Energy recommends setting your thermostat to 68 degrees. Adjust your thermostat to a lower temperature to save energy and money. Higher temperatures may provide comfort but there is additional cost.

A WiFi-enabled or smart thermostat can help you automatically adjust your setting when you are away from home or asleep to help save energy. CFU offers a 100% cost-sharing rebate, up to $100.

Arabella Apartments Upgrades Thermostats

Shane Sage, Property Manager and Technology Coordinator at Rent Cedar Valley, recently took advantage of this rebate to install WiFi-enabled thermostats at the Arabella Apartments located on First Street. By providing smart thermostats, residents will be able to make energy efficient choices and save on their utility bill.

Property Managers will also receive alerts if an issue arises in unoccupied units. Recently staff was alerted to an empty unit where a furnace was continuously running but the temperature was not increasing. Upon investigating, a door had blown open and staff was able to intervene within the hour, quickly saving wasted energy and money.
