How can I save on the time of use rate?

The key to saving money is lowering your usage during on-peak time. Here are a few ways to do that.

  1. Using delay start or timers on your appliances for them to start at off-peak times or run them early in the morning during the super off-peak is a great start.
  2. Installing a smart thermostat and pre-cool or pre-heat your home during off-peak times to reduce your HVAC load during peak times. A well insulated home could allow you to turn off the air conditioner or heat and stay comfortable until the peak decreases.
  3. Use features available on an electric car to allow for charging during off-peak or super-off peak hours.
