PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY BEFORE PLACING AN ORDER THROUGH THIS WEBSITE. BY ACCESSING AND/OR USING THE WEBSITE (OTHER THAN TO BROWSE THE WEBSITE OR READ THESE TERMS OF USE FOR THE FIRST TIME) YOU ARE AGREEING TO COMPLY WITH THESE TERMS OF SERVICE.

Scope of Work

Smart Thermostat Installation

The installation scope of work includes installation of premium Smart Thermostats (Nest or Ecobee), conversion of your existing fan coil and electric baseboard system to a low voltage compatible connection (if applicable), and programming and integration of your new smart technology.

The quoted price includes all devices, parts, labor, setup & integration, taxes, utility rebates, discounts & warranty. The quoted price is subject to change due to unforeseen site conditions that are outside of the normal scope of the project. Contractor reserves the right to stop all work once an unforeseen site condition is discovered until authorization to proceed is obtained from customer and/or building manager.

Customers have the option of customizing their order with various devices and accessories available through the NextechSelect collection. The prices for NextechSelect items are all-inclusive of the product,  taxes, installation, and app integration. Items in NextechSelect are provided at a promotional discount and made available only when purchased in conjunction with a smart thermostat order.

 

Utility Rebate Terms

Smart Thermostat Rebate Authorization

Utility Rebates are discounted instantly from the invoice, then processed and collected by the contractor through the standard utility rebate procedure. Nextech offers instant rebates to qualified customers who agree to provide utility account numbers and meet the requirements as outlined in the most current utility rebate programs. NOTE: If you purchased your device(s) from the COMED marketplace or another retail vendor where the rebate has already been applied, you are not eligible for the instant utility rebate. 

By authorizing Nextech to provide instant utility rebates on your invoice, you agree to the following statements:
• You are a current residential and or multi-family utility delivery service customer.
• Your device(s) were purchased new on or after January 1st 2022 and you possess a copy of the sales receipt.
• You and or your property manager/landlord are the authorized account holder for the account numbers listed on your utility bill.
• You have operational internet access that the thermostat can connect to via Wi-Fi.
• You authorize Nextech to process and collect the utility rebate on your behalf and will provide the required account information and supporting documentation necessary to do so. 

Not adhering to the above statements will disqualify the amount of the rebate that was applied to the invoice and contractor reserves the right to halt any and all work until/unless the amount is collected.
