The collaboration leverages Everyday Electric's virtual power plant technology—the largest residential network of its kind in the U.S.—to manage energy consumption across more than 1 million existing Lennox smart thermostats. By linking these devices to grid demand, the system is designed to scale small, comfort-focused adjustments into significant, power-plant-sized capacity that reduces strain on utility infrastructure.
Lennox and Everyday Electric Partner to Automate Home Energy Savings
Lennox and Everyday Electric are teaming up to integrate automated energy-saving features directly into smart thermostats by 2027. The partnership aims to lower household heating and cooling bills by making subtle, personalized temperature adjustments during periods of high grid demand without requiring manual input from homeowners.
Sarah Martin, EVP of Lennox Home Comfort Solutions, stated that the integration focuses on making energy efficiency a natural part of daily life rather than a chore. Users will retain full control, with the ability to override settings or adjust preferences through the Lennox Home app at any time. Beyond automated savings, the app will provide insights and personalized recommendations to help residents track their energy usage. Ben Brown, CEO of Everyday Electric, noted that the program succeeds by meeting customers where they are, ensuring comfort remains a priority while households are rewarded for their contribution to a more stable and cost-effective electrical grid.
