How can I opt out of an Active Savings Event?

Types Of Events

There are a few different types of savings events.
 

Mandatory Events

You cannot opt out of this event. Contact your energy provider for more information. Their contact information can usually be found on the program email that you received when you opted into this.

Active Savings Events

During these Temperature or Duty Cycle based Events, your energy provider will adjust your temperature set point or manage the HVAC run time to reduce energy consumption. Depending on your program, your energy provider may be able to inhibit auxiliary heating usage as well.

Optimized Schedules

Some energy providers have specific schedules set up to optimize your energy usage throughout the day.
