Frequently asked questions

Show all answers

The Degrees of Difference program is a free energy management tool that can help reduce electricity usage during periods of high electricity demand. Once you enroll and your smart thermostat is connected to the program, your thermostat will automatically adjust during a Degrees of Difference event to help reduce electricity use.

Events can be called at any time during the year. They will last no longer than 4 hours and your thermostat will be adjusted by no more than 4 degrees. Rest assured—you’re always in control and can opt out of an event at any time by changing the temperature on your thermostat.

You must meet the following requirements to participate in Degrees of Difference:

  • You must be a Reliant electricity account holder at the time of any Demand Response Program event.
  • You must have an operable and eligible thermostat manufactured by Vivint, Google Nest, Sensi, Honeywell or another manufacturer authorized and approved by Reliant (an “Eligible Thermostat”) controlling an HVAC system at the account service address.
  • You must have an active electricity Smart Meter at the electricity account service address.
  • The Eligible Thermostat must be connected to an active Wi-Fi network at the electricity account service address.
  • The Eligible Thermostat must be installed and registered according to the manufacturer’s process.
  • You must complete Reliant’s online enrollment process for participation in the Demand Response Program, which can be accessed here.

You must agree to the Reliant Degrees of Difference Smart Thermostat Program Terms & Conditions.

A Degrees of Difference event is an instance where participating thermostats will be remotely adjusted by no more than 4 degrees to help reduce electricity usage and then return to their original settings after the event is over. Events can be called year-round and may last for up to 4 hours. Rest assured, you’re always in control and can opt out at any time by changing the temperature on your thermostat.

Degrees of Difference events can be called at any time of the year. There can also be more than one Degrees of Difference event per day. Events are more likely to happen during the summer and winter months, when electricity demand is typically higher.

If there is an ERCOT-issued energy emergency event, Reliant may need to call a critical Degrees of Difference event, which may occur at any time of day.

Yes, if you have an eligible smart thermostat from Vivint, Google Nest, Honeywell Home, Sensi or another manufacturer authorized by Reliant, you can join the Degrees of Difference Smart Thermostat Program. Your enrollment in the Manual Thermostats program will automatically be canceled upon your enrollment in the Degrees of Difference Smart Thermostat Program, along with any future bill credits or other incentives associated with the Manual Thermostats program.

Depending on your smart thermostat, notifications may appear on the smart thermostat display or in its mobile app when a Degrees of Difference Smart Thermostat Program event is in progress.

You can override the modified temperatures at any point by changing the temperature directly on your smart thermostat or in its app.
