5.1 Enable Price Protection

The “Price Protection” feature is designed to save you money by letting you automate how your heating and cooling system responds to peak rates. First, determine how you want your thermostat to respond to each price tier. The product will always display the lowest price tier first and each tier that follows is more expensive than the one before it.

You can then assign how many degrees warmer or cooler you’d like your home to be when each tier is active. The thermostat only lets you make adjustments that save you money (regardless if you’re in a heating or cooling program) so don’t worry about the direction of the adjustment.

When rates increase, the home screen of the thermostat will indicate that Price Protection is active and whatever temperature adjustment was previously defined will take effect. To cancel Price Protection when rates are high, simply press the “Cancel” key.

For more information on your utility’s specific rate structure, visit their website.

To set your Price Protection preferences:

Menu > Settings > Price Protection > Set Cooling (or Heating) Response

STEP 1 Press the MENU key.

STEP 2 From the Settings menu, use

the arrows to select PRICE PROTECTION. Press .

STEP 3 If the PRICE PROTECTION feature shows

OFF, press . You should now see a listing titled SET COOLING RESPONSE. If you have a Heat Pump you will also see a SET HEATING RESPONSE option. Select COOLING RESPONSE and press . .
