Cool Share for Southern Nevada
NV Energy is in the process of rolling out a new pilot version of the Cool Share program. We plan on launching the new program--with some exciting new features and benefits--this August. While we retool the program we are putting a hold on new installations of Cool Share equipment.
However, you can join our waiting list for the new version of Cool Share by calling us at: {702) 402-1111.
Current Cool Share customers don’t need to make any changes. You can keep your devices and stay in the Cool Share program as is and enjoy the program benefits and incentives.
How Cool Share Works
- After you enroll and schedule an appointment, an installer will visit your home to replace your existing thermostat with a new Web-programmable thermostat. This takes approximately an hour.
- On days when the demand for NV Energy's electricity is peaking, we will shoot a signal to your thermostat. The signal tells the compressors of your air conditioner(s) to go into conservation mode. (View a calendar showing how many times this happened last year.)
- When the air conditioners of people who are enrolled in Cool Share go into conservation mode, the demand for electricity drops and less electricity needs to be generated. This helps avert energy shortages and helps the environment.
- In your home the temperature may rise a little, but you'll stay comfy. Most Cool Share customers say they never even notice the change.
- If you want, you can override the events to stop your air conditioner from going into conservation mode. However, if you don't participate, you won't receive the participation benefits.
