Nest thermostats learn what temperatures you like so they can keep you comfortable and help you save energy. With Rush Hour Rewards, you can get rewarded for using less energy when everyone else is using more. And, by enrolling, your Nest thermostat can do it for you automatically, but you will always remain in control. Tucson Electric Power (TEP) will give you a $50 virtual prepaid Mastercard® per thermostat (limit two per household) for signing up and participating in TEP's Smart Rewards program, powered by Rush Hour Rewards. And if you stay enrolled through the season, you’ll receive an additional $40 prepaid Mastercard® per thermostat (limit two per household). You need to be a TEP customer with central air conditioning or a heat pump to participate. |

TEP will give you a $50 prepaid Mastercard® per thermostat (limit two per household) for signing up for the TEP Smart Rewards program, powered by Rush Hour Rewards.

- There can be multiple rush hour events throughout the year. Rush hour events can consist of a pre-cooling period in the summer to make your home more comfortable and a period of time when your energy usage is reduced.
- Energy rush hours can occur at any time of year between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m.
- There can be multiple rush hour events per day.
- In the unlikely situation of a critical need on the electric grid, TEP may need to call a critical rush hour event. Critical rush hour events can occur at any time of day.
Here's how it works:
Rush hour events happen when there’s unusually high demand on the grid. During these events, your Nest thermostat will adjust your home’s temperature by up to 4 degrees F, helping you to use less energy on heating or cooling during that time. If you start to feel uncomfortable, you can stop participating at any time by changing the temperature.
