Smart Energy Savings: Take Control of Your Energy and Lower Your Bill

At Roanoke Cooperative, we’re committed to providing our member-owners with Smart Energy Savings options that help reduce energy costs and improve efficiency. These programs use internet-supported energy monitoring and management tools—commonly known as “smart” devices—to put savings at your fingertips.

By tracking and managing energy use, these smart tools help lower monthly bills while ensuring comfort. They also automatically adjust energy consumption during peak demand times, which reduces costs for both member-owners and the Co-op, keeping electricity rates more affordable for everyone.

  • More Choices: Expanded options mean you can select from a variety of smart thermostat brands to find the one that suits your home best. 
  • Simple Enrollment: Whether you already have a smart thermostat or are ready to purchase one, we’re here to help. For those interested, we also have a limited supply of Ecobee thermostats available for member-owners at a great offer.

Water Heater Controls: A Hidden Source of Savings

Water heaters use more energy than many people realize. Our water heater control program helps reduce unnecessary energy use, giving you a $1.00 monthly bill credit while ensuring you always have hot water when you need it.

  • The control optimizes run time to save energy without affecting comfort.
  • If you need hot water, your demand will override any control event.
