It's that time.

Lock and load.

The Michael Verishow is on the air.

A report coming out in the last week due to a number of questions by electric power provider customers.

Does my electric provider have the ability to power legally and logistically to reduce the settings on my thermostat?

Why yes, yes they do.

One report saying, quote, if you sign up for a plan that gives you a free thermostat, a free Wi-Fi thermostat then yes.

It's there in the print that they can change the temperature and they can even shut it down.

When you received a free nest or any other brand, smart thermostat, it wasn't free.

Remember when the product is free, you're the product.

What did you think was going to happen?

We're getting reports in Texas that people set their air conditioning to 74 and they walk over and look at it and it's been bumped up to 80 or people whose air conditioning system has turned off.

I'm sure it's getting hot in here.

Did you turn off the AC?

Did it break?

And you go over and it's turned off and won't turn back on.

And it's completely legal.

I got a free nest.

You should get a free nest.

They send it to you.

They send it to you electric companies.

They want your business to bad.
