## Get paid up to $125.

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.

Southern California Edison (SCE) may give you a one-time $75 bill credit for signing up for Rush Hour Rewards, referred to as the Smart Energy Program by SCE. And if you stay enrolled during the season, you’ll receive up to $50 in additional bill credits.

You need to be a SCE residential or business customer with central air conditioning to participate.

### Program Details

SCE may give you a one-time $75 bill credit for signing up for Rush Hour Rewards, referred to as the Smart Energy Program by SCE. Plus, you’ll receive up to $50 in annual bill credits for your enrollment in the program each year.

*   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 structure 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, SCE may need to call a critical rush hour event. Critical rush hour events can occur at any time of day.
*   SCE has the right to remove you from the program if you opt out within the first hour of every rush hour event during a season or your device was offline or not in a cooling mode for more than 30 days.

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 structure's temperature by up to 4 degrees 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.
