Your thermostat already does a lot to keep you comfortable and conserve energy. But now Ameren Missouri Peak Time Savings Program is here to help your thermostat do even more. By understanding how your home uses energy, the weather in your area, and your unique comfort settings, Peak Time Savings uses its cutting-edge technology to create the most energy-efficient schedule for you and your family. Peak Time Savings easily fits your lifestyle to help you save the most while still keeping you comfortable.
How it Works:
- Make sure that your home's cooling system is operated by a qualifying Wi-Fi enabled smart thermostat. (See our FAQ page for a list of qualifying smart thermostats.) Don't have a smart thermostat? You can purchase one at the Ameren Missouri Online Store and install it.
- Complete your enrollment in the Peak Time Savings Program, powered by Nest Rush Hour Rewards, online. You may also call 1.877.215.5752 for additional questions.
- You will receive a confirmation email from the Peak Time Savings Program that you are officially enrolled. You'll receive $50 as a sign-up bonus if you did not receive the $50 sign-up bonus as an instant incentive when you purchased your qualifying thermostat at the Ameren Missouri Online Store.
- On certain dates that energy demand is exceedingly high - and only Monday through Friday during the months of May through September - your smart thermostat will automatically adjust to circulate the cooled air in your home. These times are called 'events' or 'energy rush hours' and will only last a few hours before your smart thermostat adjusts back to your preprogrammed cooling settings.
- Within a month of the anniversary of your enrollment, you'll receive $25.

Frequently Asked Questions
Overall
If you purchase a qualifying thermostat from the Ameren Missouri Online Store, then your $50 sign-up bonus will be applied as an instant rebate at the time of purchase.
Yes! Customers on TOU rates are encouraged to join the program. On days when a Peak Time Savings event is called, we reduce your electric consumption during hours where overall energy use is high, which typically align with TOU rate peak periods when electricity is more expensive.
If you're on a TOU rate, you're probably already trying to shift your energy use out of high-demand hours. With Peak Time Savings, the program will manage this energy shifting for you, cooling your home before high-demand hours start, then reducing your use during the more expensive hours.
Event Questions
Seasonal Savings Questions
When Seasonal Savings is adjusting temperatures, the changes it makes are subtle, just a fraction of a degree each day. Over the course of the entire tune-up period, the changes typically add up to about 1℉. The biggest temperature adjustments usually happen while you're asleep or away, so you may never even notice the changes made by Seasonal Savings.
