Thank you for participating in Southeastern Indiana REMC's ecobee Smart Thermostat Program. Once you receive your smart thermostat, you have 30 days to install the device (Members can pick up their free ecobee at the REMC headquarters in Osgood). If you do not do so you will be charged the cost of the thermostat. Once the thermostat is activated you MUST contact SEI REMC to be added to the program. (Click here to contact)
The thermostat will be stabilized by Southeastern Indiana REMC during peak usage periods. However, as the homeowner, you can override the stabilization at any time. You will receive notifications when peak periods are scheduled. The thermostat has an app supported by ecobee that allows you to remotely access your thermostat from anywhere at any time.
Once your device is installed, please click here to contact Southeastern Indiana REMC.
Installation
Before you pick up your ecobee: Check if Your Equipment is Compatible
Most customers are able to install the ecobee3 lite in 30 minutes or less.
Check compatibility with your HVAC system before purchasing.
This thermostat is not compatible with electric baseboard heating systems.
What's a C-Wire?
A C-wire (common wire) is a low voltage power wire that many modern thermostats require for their features to work.
This ecobee3 lite requires a C-wire or installation of the power extended kit (included) to work.
Many older homes don't have a C-wire because mercury and battery-powered thermostats didn't require one. Therefore, it is important that you make sure that you have a C-wire and that your HVAC system is compatible with ecobee's thermostat. To determine if you have a C-wire, please consult ecobee's compatibility checker. You can also hire an HVAC contractor to help you install the C-wire and thermostat.
