For Mission 1, BEC installs Apolloware hardware and installs a smart thermostat and you are automatically enrolled in our Smart Thermostat Program. Apolloware is an energy-monitoring meter that will allow you to see your energy usage in real time. Members are encouraged to visit the Apolloware app and apply energy-saving behaviors to their daily life.
After completing Mission 1, the member has the option to proceed with Mission 2 - using Apolloware data to identify potential inefficiencies and inefficient appliances in your home or commercial property. BEC recommends certain energy improvements and you choose which improvements you want installed.
After completing Mission 1 (we recommend completing Mission 2 as well), BEC uses Apolloware data to propose a solar system, battery storage system, and EV charging infrastructure for your home or commercial property based on the energy you use. You decide whether to install the solar, battery, and/or EV charger.
BEC finances the energy improvements and you pay for it on your monthly utility bill for up to 10 years. The total cost of the program is called the Energy Saver Program Charge and BEC divides that into a monthly payment. You will see the Energy Saver Program Charge on your monthly electric bill, each completed mission will be shown as a separate line item.
Apolloware is an online system that lets you see how much energy you are using in real time. You can see your information on a smartphone, online, and get weekly emails. Completing Mission 1 guarantees a 10-year subscription to Apolloware. Your data will be private and secure.
An ecobee smart thermostat automatically keeps your home or commercial property a little warmer in summer and a little cooler in winter. By using less heating in winter and cooling in summer, you don’t use as much energy. Be sure you set the schedule on the ecobee to heat and cool your home or commercial property throughout the day.
Mission 1 costs $8 per month ($960 in total) over 10 years. Mission 2 and Mission 3 costs vary because it depends on the improvements you choose. You pay for the cost of the improvements plus a one-time per loan program charge and a low interest rate for the BEC program fee.
BEC estimates you’ll save 10% per month with Mission 1.
