Upgrade your rental properties with free, state of the art programmable SmartAC thermostats–a $200 value, plus free installation. Or choose the SmartAC switch. Which ever SmartAC technology you choose, you'll be helping to prevent power interruptions in case of a local or state energy supply emergency.

We'll even give your tenants a $25 appreciation check for each SmartAC device installed at their home or business as our way of thanking them for participating.

PG&E will contact you to discuss your technology choices, arrange access, and even work with you and your maintenance staff to understand how SmartAC interacts with your AC system—all for free. And you'll receive PG&E's free unlimited technical support services while participating in the SmartAC program. You can also contact us at 1-866-908-4916.
