Lennox and Everyday Electric Partner to Bring Comfort-First Savings to Lennox Smart Thermostats

Everyday Electric (formerly Renew Home) partners with Lennox to bring residential customers energy insights and bill savings through intelligent and subtle temperature adjustments

RICHARDSON, Texas and SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Lennox (NYSE: LII) and Everyday Electric today announced a partnership designed to help households lower heating and cooling costs while prioritizing comfort.

Lennox is a leader in home comfort solutions, helping homeowners enjoy reliable, energy-efficient comfort and greater peace of mind through innovative cooling, heating, indoor air quality, and water heating systems. Everyday Electric operates the largest residential virtual power plant (VPP) in the U.S., offering solutions that simplify home savings and support a more reliable, cost-effective grid.

Energy demand is growing faster than predicted and new grid infrastructure is expensive to build, contributing to rising costs and household bills. Everyday Electric and Lennox are partnering to help address these challenges, integrating savings capabilities from Everyday Electric directly into Lennox smart thermostats. Expected to launch in 2027, eligible Lennox customers will be able to:

• Turn on features to automatically save on energy bills and earn utility rewards (where available) through subtle and personalized temperature adjustments when energy prices or demand are high, helping customers lower heating and cooling costs while staying comfortable.¹
• Always stay in control by updating savings preferences or adjusting the temperature on the thermostat or Lennox Home app at any time.
• Access savings insights and recommendations in the Lennox Home app to understand how their smart thermostat is helping them save, and receive tailored recommendations for new opportunities.

"This partnership combines Lennox's leadership in HVAC efficiency with Everyday Electric's expertise in customer-centric energy savings," said Sarah Martin, EVP and President of Lennox Home Comfort Solutions. "Together, with our shared focus on customer experience, we are making it easier for households to reduce energy costs while staying comfortable, through adjustments that fit naturally into everyday life."

Through this integration, Lennox customers join more than 6 million households already benefiting from Everyday Electric's energy management and savings features. Lennox will extend the capabilities to new smart thermostat owners as well as to the more than 1 million Lennox smart thermostats already installed in homes today.

This comfort-first approach makes it easy for households to turn on savings adjustments that can help lower their energy bills, especially when it matters most. Each adjustment, when taken together, scales into power plant-sized capacity that can help lower costs for everyone.

"Lennox is one of the most trusted names in home comfort. Together we're helping customers save without asking them to do anything extra," said Ben Brown, CEO of Everyday Electric. "When you meet people where they are, keeping comfort intact and not asking them to compromise, that's when energy programs actually work for the households they're meant to serve. It's how we help more families save money and get rewarded for the value they're already creating for the grid."

The companies expect to begin rolling out integrated features through Lennox products in 2027.
