National Grid NY Gas

Get paid up to $50.

Nest thermostats learn what temperatures you like so they can keep you comfortable and help you save energy. With Rush Hour Rewards, you can get rewarded for using less energy when everyone else is using more. And, by enrolling, your Nest thermostat can do it for you automatically, but you will always remain in control.

National Grid will give you a $25 virtual prepaid Mastercard® for signing up for Rush Hour Rewards. And if you stay enrolled, you’ll receive an additional $25 prepaid Mastercard® after the second season of participation.

You need to be a National Grid customer in Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island, or upstate New York with gas heating to participate.

Program Details

National Grid will give you a $25 prepaid Mastercard® for signing up for Rush Hour Rewards. Plus, you’ll receive an additional $25 prepaid Mastercard® after the second season of participation, if you participate in at least 70% of the rush hour events for that season.

  • There can be multiple rush hour events throughout the year. Rush hour events can consist of a pre-cooling period in the summer or pre-heating period in the winter to make your home more comfortable and a period of time when your energy usage is reduced.
  • Energy rush hours can occur at any time of year between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m.
  • There can be multiple rush hour events per day.
  • In the unlikely situation of a critical need on the electric grid, National Grid may need to call a critical rush hour event. Critical rush hour events can occur at any time of day.
  • National Grid reserves the right to cancel your participation in the program if you participate in less than 15% of the rush hour events during a season because you opted out of energy rush hours, or your device was offline or not in a heating mode.

Your program details may differ based on your utility. Additional details may be found on your utility’s website.

Here's how it works:

Rush hour events happen when there’s unusually high demand on the grid. During these events, your Nest thermostat will adjust your home’s temperature by up to 4 degrees F, helping you to use less energy on heating or cooling during that time. If you start to feel uncomfortable, you can stop participating at any time by changing the temperature.
