Introducing an exciting new partnership: Heat Smart and Google Nest

At Heat Smart, our core approach has always been to build partnerships and work together to help low-income families. We’re excited to announce our latest partnership with Google Nest and their e-thermostats. We’ve put our two proven solutions together to deliver a knock-out punch to Energy Poverty.

How? Heat Smart kits provide immediate warmth and empower low-income families to realize the energy savings benefits of thermostat setback. With warm wool blend blankets, weather-stripping and conservation tips, one kit could help a family save nearly $200 on their heating bill every year. At the same time, Google Nest self-programming E-Thermostats make thermostat setback even easier. Its energy-saving features have saved people an average of 10% to 12% on heating bills. Together, it’s one powerful step toward ending Energy Poverty.

Here’s how it works: for every two Heat Smart kits you purchase, get a Google Nest thermostat at a reduced price – 30% off retail! The thermostats are sold in multiples of four, so a minimum order is eight Heat Smart kits with four thermostats. But you can always add additional kits, and it’s recommended to have one kit for each occupied bed in the household. In addition to using your own funds, kits and thermostats may be funded by LIHEAP, Weatherization and Assurance 16 monies, depending on the type of program you have.  And of course, you can always buy kits without e-thermostats.

We’ll be debuting our bundle of warmth at the Community Action Partnership in Chicago from August 28-30. Stop by our booth – #200 – for details and ask me any questions you may have.

And after Chicago we will be visiting Little Rock at the NASCP Training Conference from September 23-27, learning more about Block Grants and alleviating energy poverty issues.

If you can’t make it to Chicago or Little Rock, call or email anytime and we’ll be happy to discuss options.

And speaking of debuts, you may have noticed our website’s new look! This summer we worked hard to create a logo and tagline that would celebrate all the great partnerships we’ve formed – and those still to come. We hope you like it, and that it inspires you to form more partnerships so you can reach out to more families. Because we’re always more powerful when we work together!

Energy Poverty. It’s time to do more together.
