Smart Thermostats

Make the smart choice: take advantage of AMP's instant rebates on smart thermostats. Explore smart thermostats on the AMP Marketplace.

What makes Smart Thermostats so smart?

Smart thermostats are loaded with features that make it easy to save energy and money. They eliminate confusing programming, adapt to your preferred heating and cooling schedule, and offer the convenience of being controlled from anywhere – all you need is Wi-Fi at home.

Features that Smart Thermostats can offer your home:

• Learning Ability: Thermostats with learning ability will automatically adjust settings based on your personal preferences and schedule, resulting in increased savings over time.
• Occupancy Sensing: Thermostats with occupancy sensing technology go into an energy-saving mode when no one is present, so you never have to worry about turning the thermostat down when you leave. Occupancy sensors may be integrated or separate, depending on the model.
• Geofencing: Geofencing uses your connected smartphone to determine your location and make thermostat adjustments accordingly. When you are away, energy-saving mode is enabled. When you return, your thermostat turns back up.
• Smart Sensors: Remote temperature sensors allow the thermostat to determine the temperature in the rooms where the sensors are placed, not just where the thermostat is located. This helps customize comfort in every room. Smart sensors are sold separately but are included with some models.
• App Alerts: When connected to a thermostat's app, you can get helpful reminders and alerts sent to your phone. Get reminded when it's time to replace your furnace filters or get notified when extreme temperatures are sensed, indicating your furnace may be malfunctioning.
• Energy Reports: Energy usage reports show you how much energy you've used and teach you how to use less.
• ENERGY STAR Certified: ENERGY STAR thermostats have been independently certified to deliver energy savings. These are the smartest of the Wi-Fi thermostats available and include top-of-the-line features to help you manage your energy use.

Is a Smart Thermostat easy to Install?

Do-it-yourself installation timing will vary by customer, but on average the process takes about 45 minutes. AMP does not provide installation services but recommends following all manufacturer’s guidelines and safety recommendations. Customers can also reach out to qualified contractors to assist with installation.

Who is eligible for AMP’s $50.00 rebate?

Customers who have all-electric homes or on D1H rate codes qualify for AMP’s $50.00 rebate when purchasing a smart thermostat from AMP’s marketplace.  Only thermostats purchased through the AMP marketplace qualify for this program.

In addition, during promotions, certain manufacturers may provide additional incentives on products that all D1 customers (both natural gas and electric) can qualify for.  You can find current promotions at AMP’s marketplace.

Electric Panel Upgrade

When you upgrade your home's panel to switch to electric appliances, you can apply for an AMP rebate of up to $2,500.

Switching from gas-powered appliances to all-electric appliances is known as “electrification” or “fuel switching.” Examples include switching from natural gas water heating to electric-resistant water heating, or switching from natural gas space heating to all-electric space heating.

Even switching from your natural gas dryer to an all-electric version counts as electrification and can help you qualify for this rebate.

Take these steps to be eligible for the rebate:

• Upgrade your panel to 200amps or greater
• Install at least one appliance that reflects a switch from natural gas to all electric, and install or have an existing additional all-electric appliance. The already-existing appliance can meet this requirement only if it was purchased after September 1, 2020.

Examples of qualifying electric appliances for fuel switching:

• Gas dryer to all-electric dryer (check out AMP’s electric dryer rebate)
• Gas water heater to electric resistant water heating (check out AMP’s heat pump water heater rebate)
• Gas heating/furnace to all-electric space heating (heat pump space heating or all-electric furnace)
• Gas stove to all electric stove (like an induction cooktop)

*Installing an electric vehicle level 2 charger can qualify as the second appliance to satisfy the rebate requirement. 

How to Apply

Pre-Panel Installation:

Before performing your panel upgrade, work with your electrician or contractor to complete these two steps (Note: New appliance installation may require additional permits. Contact the City of Alameda Permit Center for more information):

1. Submit a completed Residential Electric Service Form to AMP for approval.*
2. Submit a completed permit application to the City of Alameda permit center.**

*Submit form to AMP’s engineering office at 2000 Grand St, Alameda, CA 94501. For questions, call the AMP engineering main line at (510) 814-5676. AMP will verify local power availability prior to permit application.

** Contact the City of Alameda permit center at (510) 747-6800

After installation of your panel upgrade

Take the following steps once the panel and appliance installations are complete:

1. Complete the online Residential Electric Panel Upgrade Rebate application form.
2. Submit the following documents along with your rebate application:

• Photos clearly demonstrating fuel switching has occurred. This can be achieved by providing photos of: 
  • Existing gas-powered appliances before replacement
  • Newly installed electric appliances
• Picture of updated panel installed on the property
• Receipts or proof of purchase for all electric appliances
• Contract or paid invoice(s) to certified electrician, showing the itemized and subtotaled cost of the electrical upgrade (electrician’s invoice must include the electrician’s license number). If capping gas lines, include this as a line item in the contractor invoice.
• Final, signed building permit(s)

Level 2 Electric Vehicle Charger

Purchase and install a level 2 electric vehicle charger at home and receive a rebate reward card worth up to $800. AMP is offering this cash rebate to encourage residents to use Alameda's 100% clean energy by charging their EVs at home.

Level 2 chargers, known as electric vehicle supply equipment, provide charging through a 240V AC plug. Level 2 charging provides about 10 to 60 miles of range to an electric vehicle’s battery per hour of charging time, making it quicker and more convenient than standard 120V AC charging, or level 1 charging, which provides only about 2 to 5 miles per hour of charging.

You can apply this rebate toward the purchase, installation, and/or permitting of a new, permanently installed level 2 home charger.

How to Apply

You will need the following application materials:

1. Buy a new level 2 EV home charger.

   • Installed EV charger and charger serial number
   • Receipt or paid invoice from the charger purchase
   • Receipt or paid invoice(s) from installer and/or electrician, as relevant, showing the itemized and subtotaled cost of the charger installation and/or electrical upgrade (electrician’s invoice must include the electrician’s license number)
   • Final, signed building permit

Eligibility:

• The rebate is available only to current AMP residential (D1) customers.
• Limit one rebate per charging station; limit two charging station rebates per customer.
• A charger with multiple ports, or plugs, is considered one unit and is eligible for a single rebate.
• Receipts and invoices must be dated within three months of application.
• Rebate can be used toward any combination of the following: the cost of the charging station; the charging station installation, any necessary electrical upgrades; and the city permit.

Qualifying level 2 (240-volt) charging stations:

• Must be new, and not used, resold or rebuilt.
• Must be wall or pedestal-mounted, and not portable.
• Must be certified by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL Listed); or ETL Listed
• Must not be received from warranty insurance claims.

Eligible electrical upgrades:
