New device on utility poles can adjust your thermostat

By STEPHEN HOLZER

ADVERTISEMENTS

March 25--YORK, Pa -- Dwight Rhine recently spotted additions to the utility poles in his Manchester Township neighborhood and wondered what was up.

A metal arm sticks out from the pole, and the object attached to it is partially blue.

It turns out that they are controllers for Met-Ed's energy saving program.

Customers can voluntarily enroll to allow the utility to remotely control their air conditioners and pool pumps when demand for power peaks on hot summer days. In return, residents receive a credit on their bill.
