Cool Keeper
You can earn bill credits and help keep your tenants happy,
while helping to reduce energy demand and keep costs down.
Best of all, Cool Keeper is available at no cost.
How Cool Keeper works
Sign up for Cool Keeper and a device will be connected to
your central air conditioning unit. On selected summer days
when energy demand soars, the Cool Keeper device receives
a wireless signal. This signal tells the device to turn your
central air conditioning unit off and on, lessening the strain
on the power system. Please keep in mind that the time delay
feature is designed to help protect the air conditioning compressor from
short cycling as a result of a power outage. The unit's indoor
fan still runs and cool air continues to circulate, and most
customers report they don't even notice the 1 to 3°F temperature
shift. In fact, 97 percent of program participants report
they are satisfied with the program.
How the credit works
Residential participants receive a $20 credit on their fall
Rocky Mountain Power bill each year they participate. If you pay the
utility bill for the property, then you will receive the $20
credit.
Help make a proven program a greater success
Similar programs across the country have enjoyed great success.
In fact, there are nearly 6 million similar devices installed
nationwide. Each tenant you help sign up will join the growing
number of Utahns making a difference in our state's energy
outlook.
How do I inform my tenants?
We will provide you with a follow-up letter for your tenants
that explains the program, its benefits to them and the community,
and their $20 credit (if the utilities are registered in their
name). If you have central air conditioning at your home or
office, you too can sign up for the program.
