## Get paid up to $40.

Nest thermostats learn what temperatures you like so they can keep you comfortable and help you save energy. With Rush Hour Rewards, you can get rewarded for using less energy when everyone else is using more. And, by enrolling, your Nest thermostat can do it for you automatically, but you will always remain in control.

Pepco will give you $40 in bill credits at the end of each summer season if you sign up and stay enrolled in the Rush Hour Rewards program.

You need to be a Pepco customer residing in Maryland with central air conditioning to participate.

This summer, Pepco is offering its customers more ways to save energy and money through the Energy Wise Rewards program, powered by Google’s Rush Hour Rewards. For more information about the Energy Wise Rewards program, visit the [program website](https://homeenergysavings.pepco.com/energywiserewards/md/residential/overview).

### Program Details

Pepco will give you $40 in bill credits at the end of each summer season if you sign up and stay enrolled in the Rush Hour Rewards program.

*   There can be multiple rush hour events throughout the year. Rush hour events can consist of a pre-cooling period in the summer or pre-heating period in the winter to make your home more comfortable and a period of time when your energy usage is reduced.
*   Energy rush hours can occur at any time of year between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m.
*   There can be multiple rush hour events per day.
*   In the unlikely situation of a critical need on the electric grid, Pepco may need to call a critical rush hour event. Critical rush hour events can occur at any time of day.

Your program details may differ based on your utility. Additional details may be found on your utility’s website.

### Here's how it works:

Rush hour events happen when there’s unusually high demand on the grid. During these events, your Nest thermostat will adjust your home’s temperature by up to 4°F, helping you to use less energy on heating or cooling during that time. If you start to feel uncomfortable, you can stop participating at any time by changing the temperature.
