always read the fine print!

these people didn't know they were "opted-in" to this program as a savings measure.

i had to opt out of this in Arizona; here you will see a message from APS:

"Savings Event Scheduled"
'A Savings Event is scheduled for XX/XX/XX at 00:00 YY. During this time,
 your thermostats will be optimized by your utility provider.'

... the range of adjustment is +/- 4 degrees F.


read the fine print! :)

best regards,
