Take advantage of a win-win opportunity
When you sign up for the PG&E SmartAC program, we install a free SmartAC device on your air conditioner (AC) and give you $50 for participating. In case of an energy shortage from May 1 - October 31, we send a signal to your SmartAC device directing your AC to run at a lower capacity. Understand how the program works.
Sit back and relax
The SmartAC device automatically does all the work. There’s nothing you need to remember. If a SmartAC event is called at a time that's inconvenient for you, you can easily return your AC to its normal settings. You can also receive Event Day notifications on your smartphone via IFTTT.
