Frequently Asked Questions 

 

What is the XOOM Energy Connect & Conserve program?

During periods of high electricity demand, a participating smart thermostat will automatically tweak temperatures up to 4 degrees to balance energy savings and comfort. Connect & Conserve events can last up to 4 hours, but you can change the temperature on your thermostat at any time.

 

How does the Connect & Conserve program work?

When electricity demand is anticipated to be high, your smart thermostat automatically adjusts a few degrees to decrease your AC runtime and conserve energy. This is known as a Connect & Conserve event. This small change is good for you and your wallet. To participate, you must connect your eligible smart thermostat to Wi-Fi and sign up for the Connect & Conserve program using the links above. Once you do, your smart thermostat and its app will let you know when a Connect & Conserve event starts.

During a Connect & Conserve event, your thermostat will automatically adjust temperatures to save electricity while keeping you comfortable. But you can choose to change the temperature and opt out of that particular event at any time.

 

What is required to participate in the Connect & Conserve program?

An eligible smart thermostat from Google Nest, Honeywell Home, or Sensi is required to participate in the XOOM Energy Connect & Conserve program along with Wi-Fi and an active account with your smart thermostat's app.

What should I expect when a Conserve & Connect event occurs?

Depending on your thermostat, notifications may appear on your thermostat and in its mobile app when a Connect & Conserve event is in progress. During the event, your smart thermostat will adjust your target temperature by no more than 4 degrees. You can override these automatic adjustments at any time if you choose. Your thermostat will return to its regular schedule after the Connect & Conserve event has ended.

 

How do I know that a Connect & Conserve event is taking place?

Depending on your thermostat, notifications may appear on the thermostat or in its mobile app when a Connect & Conserve event is in progress.

Google Nest: A gold gear icon will appear on the display of your Google Nest thermostat and your Google Home or Nest app to let you know that an energy event is now taking place.

Honeywell: You will receive an Energy Savings Event notification in the Total Connect Comfort app to let you know that an energy event is taking place.

Sensi: On the Sensi thermostat, if you're currently in an event, you'll see "Active Savings Event" on the thermostat display, along with the time that event will end. The same information is available in the Sensi app.

 

How do I opt out of a Connect & Conserve event?

You can override the modified temperatures at any point by changing the temperature directly on your smart thermostat or in its app. Your thermostat will keep the temperatures you set and then return to your regular schedule.

 

Do Connect & Conserve events happen all year long?

Yes, however, events are more likely to happen during summer and winter months when electricity demand is particularly high. You can always opt out of the event by changing the temperature on your thermostat.

 

Will participation in the Connect & Conserve program affect my enrollment in my current XOOM Energy plan?

Your participation in the Connect & Conserve program does not affect your current XOOM Energy electricity plan.

 

How do I cancel my Connect & Conserve program enrollment?

You may cancel your Connect & Conserve program enrollment at any time by calling XOOM Energy at 833-355-XOOM(9666).
