Once enrolled, your Mass Save Sponsor will automatically send a signal to your smart thermostat to precool your home before a peak demand event, and then increase your thermostat by no more than 4°F during the event.
All events will occur between 3:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. on non-holiday weekdays between June 1 and September 30. There are typically about 15 peak events every summer, and each event lasts two to three hours.
You can maintain control of your thermostat and opt out of a peak event at any time by changing your thermostat setting.
