Ameren Illinois Partners With Google To Bring Energy Savings Just In Time For Cooler Weather

As the temperatures cool down and customers begin to prepare for the winter months, Ameren Illinois and Google are joining forces with the Environmental Law and Policy Center to give Ameren Illinois heating customers another helpful way to save energy. Customers can get a Google Nest Thermostat, at no cost with tax and shipping included, thanks to a special promotion that runs through November 30.

Approximately half of a typical residential customer’s utility costs go toward heating and cooling. With a smart thermostat, customers can create a heating and cooling schedule from their smart device that can help them remain comfortable and save money.
