Thermostat Program
Save energy and money with a smart thermostat
Welcome to Evergy's Thermostat Program
Smart thermostats let you control your home's temperature through your phone. They make it so easy to save energy (and money) by creating a schedule, choosing vacation settings and making small temperature adjustments that can make an impact on your bill.
How to participate in Evergy's Thermostat Program - Energy Savings Events
By joining Evergy's Thermostat Program, you can help us reduce energy use on high-demand days by participating in Energy Savings Events. During these events, your smart thermostat will automatically pre-heat and pre-cool before energy demand is predicted to spike, then reduce your use during hours when demand is highest. Evergy's Thermostat Program always makes sure you stay comfortable and energy stays cleaner and more affordable for everyone.
Energy Savings Events typically won't last for more than four hours, during which your thermostat may adjust your home's temperature. There are typically around 15 Energy Savings Events per year with no more than 20 events maximum.
Know that you are always in control of your thermostat and can adjust the temperature during an Energy Savings Event at any time should the need arise.
Smart thermostats help you save energy and gain control of your thermostat from anywhere
This type of thermostat, once installed, connects to your home WiFi network and enables you to turn your heating or cooling up or down with a smartphone.
Adjusting your thermostat to save energy when you aren’t home can save you up to $145 per year, so it more than pays for itself.

Easy to install, easy to use
A smart thermostat simply replaces your older thermostat. For a person that’s comfortable using a screwdriver and pliers, and with turning your home’s electricity on and off from the main junction box, installation is an easy weekend project.
Popular brands like Nest and ecobee include helpful self-installation tutorials, and they can also integrate with other WiFi devices in your home like Alexa.
Smart thermostats are a no-brainer that can save you hundreds of dollars!
