Dominion’s Smart Thermostat Rewards in Virginia generally pays up to $35 for the program itself, with up to $30 available as a separate purchase rebate if you buy an eligible smart thermostat.

How the payout works

  • $25 one-time enrollment reward after you successfully join.
  • $25 annual reward for participating in at least 75% of event hours.
  • Dominion’s Virginia page also says the rewards program can total up to $35 , and the thermostat purchase rebate can be up to $30 more.

What that means in practice

If you already own a qualifying thermostat, the common reward structure is $25 when you enroll + $25 each year you participate enough , which is why many pages describe it as up to $50 total in the first year.

If you buy a new eligible thermostat through the offer, you may be able to stack the purchase rebate with the rewards payout.

During an energy event, Dominion can temporarily adjust your thermostat by up to 4 degrees for no more than 4 hours.
