Horry Electric now has a smart thermostat program where members can purchase an ecobee smart thermostat at a discounted rate. By participating, members will agree to allow the cooperative to control the thermostat during peak periods.
Peak periods are usually from 6-9 a.m in the winter, and 4-7 p.m. in the summer.
Any member who purchases an ecobee smart thermostat between July 19 and 5 p.m. August 31 will be automatically entered in prize drawing for one of five $50 electric bill credits. The bill credits will be awarded to the winning entrants by Friday, September 3.
Products available are the ecobee3 lite for $84 or the ecobee4 for $151. We only accept cash or a check for the purchase of a smart thermostat.
