TXU Energy Unveils iThermostat

Friday, Jun 20, 2008 @09:13am CST - (Dallas) TXU Energy today introduced its new energy conservation product - the TXU Energy iThermostat.

It replaces a customer's old thermostat with one designed to manage home energy use, save money and help the environment from any device connected to the Internet. It also allows TXU Energy to manage electric use during periods of peak energy demand.

The TXU Energy iThermostat(TM) benefits include:

• Customer control: At home, from work or on the road, a customer can control their home's heating and cooling system from any Internet-connected device.

• Save money: Settings can be adjusted for weekdays and weekends, with up to four programmable periods a day. Depending on use and settings, customers can save as much as $150 or more every year in energy costs.

• Help the environment: The TXU Energy iThermostat(TM) helps the environment by allowing TXU Energy to manage peak electric use, which can prevent power interruptions and help keep prices down.

The iThermostat is free to eligible customers in the Oncor Electric Delivery service area who sign up for the TXU Energy Conservation Program.

The program allows TXU Energy to cycle on and off a customer's heating and air conditioning system during periods of peak energy demand - typically between the hours of 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. from May through September.

However, customers have ultimate control and can easily override a cycle period from any Web-enabled computer or by calling TXU Energy. Cycling in this way can help TXU Energy reduce the strain on the state's transmission and generation facilities and ensure everyone has the electricity they need to keep their homes comfortable.

The TXU Energy Conservation Program has a two-year minimum term.
