Octopus X Oncor Thermostat Rebate Program
Get up to a $100 credit when you purchase a smart thermostat and connect it to Intelligent Octopus
We want to help more Texans to be able to unlock our cheapest pricing and lower energy bills with Intelligent Octopus, but we recognize some homes don't have a thermostat (or an eligible one). So we wanted to make it super easy for customers unlock cheaper power with minimal upfront costs.

- This offer is valid for Amazon, ecobee, most Honeywell, and Sensi thermostats only. You can check the full list of eligible devices down below!
