Weber State's Sustainability Team will help over 240 households increase the efficiency of their homes. 

Join us in increasing the energy efficiency of your home this year by installing a discounted smart thermostat!

Smart Thermostats

Through a partnership with UCAIR, the Lawrence T. & Janet T. Dee Foundation and the HEAT Program, Weber State's Empower Northern Utah program is offering over 90 free, and 150 discounted Nest Thermostat E’s

Why upgrade to a smart thermostat? 

Smart thermostats make it simple to save energy on heating and cooling costs. The Nest E Thermostat can cut heating bills, saving the average U.S. household over $130 a year. 

Smart thermostats save you money, are energy-efficient, and help improve air quality in your home (by reducing the combustion of natural gas). Using less natural gas and electricity generated by fossil fuels also reduces greenhouse gasses.

Free Thermostats

Contact HEAT for Your Free Thermostat

If you are currently enrolled in a government assistance program such as SNAP or WIC, you may be eligible for the Free Nest E Thermostat!

Free thermostats for low- and moderate-income qualified households are distributed through the Home Energy Assistance Target (HEAT) program. To learn more about participating through the HEAT program, view the HEAT Participant information page.
