Smart Home Devices Keep Your Home Safe and
Reduce Energy Use
Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) recommends checking
out smart home devices to add a little tech to your tinsel this
holiday season.
“Convenience is touted as the biggest advantage of smart homes,
when in fact many of these devices also help reduce energy use and
enhance safety especially during the holidays. We encourage
customers to put one or more of these devices on their holiday list
this year,” said Marlene Santos, PG&E’s Executive Vice
President and Chief Customer Officer.
Here are some smart home products to enhance your holidays:
- Install smart thermostats to change the thermostat
remotely and modify schedules to save energy. Customers can also
use room sensors which connect to thermostats to set and maintain
different temperatures in particular rooms.
- For a limited time, PG&E customers are eligible for up to
$120 in rebates when they purchase an eligible model and sign up
for a Time-of-Use rate plan. Click here for more.
- Control holiday lights with smart plugs that can be
programed to turn on automatically based on the time of day or set
to follow a custom schedule. The smart plugs can be connected to a
smart speaker to turn the cheer on and off with a simple voice
command.
- Use a smart smoke alarm to decrease the fire risk during
the holidays. Unlike a standard smoke alarm, a smart one will alert
you even when you’re not home. Connected to other smart devices
some can even automatically turn off the HVAC system to prevent the
spread of smoke throughout the home.
- Upgrade to smart bulbs for the ability to control
lighting from your phone or automate holiday lights.
These devices are designed to make life easier, more efficient
and enhance security. PG&E offers rebates on qualified
energy-efficient products and home improvements. Learn more at

Customers can also visit PG&E’s Marketplace, an online
resource for customers shopping for energy-saving appliances and
electronics.
