Consumers Hungry for Bundled Energy Services, Survey Finds

February 18, 2015

Smart energy services in the home are already wrapped up with home security settings. Intelligent light bulbs and smart thermostats are standard offerings as part of smart home packages, which are led by security.

But people are ready for more, much more, according to new research from Parks Associates released at its Smart Energy Summit in Austin this week. Nearly half of homes with broadband in the U.S. would be willing to subscribe to a bundle of energy services for about $10 per month. Internet and HVAC maintenance were the most popular services to bundle with electricity services.

From the article "Consumers Hungry for Bundled Energy Services, Survey Finds" by Katherine Tweed.
