Article updated on October 19, 2026

The best way to increase your savings is here! Enroll your compatible thermostats and load controllers in the Peak Saver program and receive financial rewards on your electricity bill. Simplify your daily life with smart home control and optimize your consumption... without even having to think about it! Find out how to take advantage of this exclusive offer for BC Hydro customers.

1. Enjoy rewards of up to $200 as soon as you sign up

Saving money has never been easier! By enrolling your compatible Sinopé devices in the Peak Saver program, you could receive up to $200 in enrollment bonuses in the form of credits on your electricity bill.

Here’s how the bonuses work:

2. More savings with peak events

Every winter, from November 1 to March 31, BC Hydro holds peak events and you could earn back $50 each year as a seasonal reward on your BC Hydro bill for each device type. 

Good news! Even if you received your thermostats for free through BC Hydro's offer, you may still be eligible for the $50 seasonal reward by participating in the Peak Saver program.

By enrolling your smart devices in the Peak Saver program, your participation is automated. During peak events, BC Hydro will remotely adjust the setpoints of your smart devices for brief periods to manage demand on its electrical system. Those adjustments are based on the savings profile you selected when enrolling in the program in the Sinopé app. Most customers say that they don’t even notice when events are happening.

Before each peak event, you will see a notification in the Sinopé app. Although participation in events is automatic, you will always maintain full override control of your enrolled devices.

3. Heading toward a greener future

By enrolling your compatible Sinopé devices in the Peak Saver program, you’re joining a collective effort to build a more sustainable energy future. During peak events, reducing your energy use helps balance demand across the grid, which decreases the need for additional electricity production and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

Each small action adds up — by participating, you’re not only saving money but also helping your community and the planet. Together, we can make energy consumption smarter, cleaner, and more efficient.

*The following smart devices are eligible for the incentives: TH1133WF, TH1134WF, TH1143WF, TH1144WF, TH1123ZB, TH1124ZB, TH1123WF, TH1124WF, RM3500WF, RM3500ZB and RM3250ZB. Sign-up bonuses are subject to the Peak Saver program’s eligibility requirements. Thermostats obtained through BC Hydro’s free thermostat offer are not eligible for the $100 sign-up bonus, but remain eligible for seasonal rewards, provided the program’s terms and conditions are met.
