COVID-19 Update:
As part of our commitment to safety, we are taking appropriate precautions to protect the health and safety of our customer-members, contractors, and employees. Scheduled in-home energy assessments under the Home Energy Improvement Program are on hold until January 27, 2021. If you have an in-home assessment scheduled between now and January 27, SMECO will be contacting you to reschedule. We apologize for any inconvenience. Please check back on January 27, 2021, for updates.
SMECO’s Home Energy Improvement Program (HEIP) can help you save energy and money in three ways. You can get a home energy analysis, an HVAC tune-up, and a smart thermostat. Plus, each service offers additional options to help extend your savings.
Home Energy Analysis:
A no-cost home energy analysis is a great way for you to get started on finding ways to save on your energy costs. When you schedule an appointment, a SMECO Energy Advisor will visit your home to:
- Analyze your home’s energy use.
- Install energy-saving items—LEDs, faucet aerators, efficient-flow showerheads, smart power strips, and pipe insulation (electric and gas water heaters only).
- Provide upgrade recommendations that will further increase your savings and comfort.
Use your eligible instant rebates—up to $7,500—when your contractor installs the upgrades you choose.
During HEIP appointments, SMECO Energy Advisors are helping to ensure the safety of our members by taking precautions, like social distancing, wearing masks, and sanitizing equipment. Ask about safety protocols when scheduling your appointment.
When you schedule your home energy analysis, let us know if you are interested in switching to a smart thermostat—you can get a $100 instant rebate* for qualifying models and no-cost installation (limit 3 per household)!** You can also request a no-cost HVAC system tune-up. Learn more about the recent addition of upgrades to Heat Pump Water Heaters.
Schedule your home energy analysis today.
* To receive the $100 thermostat rebate through the HEIP program, a Honeywell Thermostat must be purchased and installed by a SMECO-approved installation contractor. When scheduling your home energy analysis, select your interest and a SMECO preferred HVAC contractor will contact you to schedule your smart thermostat installation. Units purchased via retailers or SMECO Online Store are not eligible for the HEIP no-cost installation service.
Would you like to have a smart thermostat installed? When requesting an HEIP appointment, click “yes” and a SMECO preferred HVAC contractor will contact you to schedule your smart thermostat installation.
** Must have central AC or heat pump to qualify for rebate.
Virtual Energy Analysis:
Increased time at home can mean increased monthly energy costs. At SMECO, we want to help you save energy and money—while staying comfortable and safe in your home. A Virtual Energy Analysis is a great first step toward finding ways to save on your energy costs.
When you schedule a Virtual Energy Analysis, your trained Energy Advisor will help you look for opportunities to improve your existing equipment during a phone call or video chat.
Your SMECO Energy Advisor will:
- Email you with an energy guidebook to help you assess your home’s current energy fixtures and appliances.
- Schedule a call to analyze your home’s energy use and review findings from your guidebook, including lighting, appliances, thermostat settings, and more.
- Guide you through small changes you can make to immediately reduce your energy use.
- Find out which energy-saving products you’re eligible to receive in the mail at no additional cost.
- Schedule an in-home follow- up to verify installation and receive a personalized report for future improvements, including rebates up to $7,500 and financing opportunities.

HVAC Tune-Up:
SMECO provides an HVAC tune-up to HEIP participants at no additional cost. An HVAC tune-up will identify any problems your heating and cooling system may have. Save energy and money by having your system restored to its optimal condition through various important procedures, including:
- System diagnostic testing
- Coil inspection
- Indoor and outdoor coil cleaning
- Expansion valve inspection
- Electrical inspection
- Refrigerant level inspection
- Condensate drain clearing
Smart Thermostat:
Get a smart thermostat for as little as $5! Through SMECO’s Home Energy Improvement Program, you can get a $100 instant rebate* for a qualifying ENERGY STAR® certified smart thermostat. And it will be installed by a certified HVAC professional—at no additional cost to you (limit 3 per household)!**
These smart thermostats offer Wi-Fi capability and smart setback, so you can control them remotely and program them to make automatic adjustments—which means you can save even more energy and more money.
