Additional Cyber Monday deals to be offered on other energy-efficient products
BALTIMORE (Nov. 21, 2018) – Black Friday means big savings for BGE customers shopping for ecobee or Nest® smart thermostats. Customers who shop at BGE's online store – BGE Marketplace – will be able to combine $100 instant rebates with Black Friday deals including $50 off the ecobee4 with built-in Amazon Alexa, $30 off the ecobee3 lite Smart Thermostat, $70 off the 3rd Gen Nest Learning Thermostat™, and $30 off the Nest Thermostat E.
"Black Friday is the perfect opportunity for our customers to see the benefits of shopping at BGE Marketplace. In addition to instant application of rebates available only to our customers, ecobee and Nest are offering great deals on some of their most popular smart thermostats," said Rodney Oddoye, BGE's vice president of Customer Operations and Chief Customer Officer. "BGE Marketplace allows our customers to take advantage of the many energy-efficiency products available that can help them gain more insight and control over their home energy-use."
BGE Marketplace offers energy-efficiency products that can save customers time and money, such as LED lightbulbs, smart thermostats, and advanced power strips. The online store also allows customers to receive instant, point-of-purchase rebates involving no paperwork, no wait, and no hassle - just a simple validation process that determines rebate eligibility at the same time a customer adds products to his or her cart. The energy savings from these products support EmPOWER Maryland.
BGE's customer service tools are at the forefront of technology and enhancements available in the energy industry that allow the company to deliver innovative and convenient solutions for customers. In addition to BGE Marketplace, BGE is now offering instant rebates at select Home Depot retail stores on energy-efficient smart thermostats and will soon extend this program to all Home Depot and Lowes stores in BGE's territory and online.
EmPOWER Maryland programs like BGE Marketplace rebates are funded by a charge on your energy bill. EmPOWER programs can help you reduce your energy consumption and save you money.
