Avoid Peak Hours to Save Electricity

Did you know that utility providers often have different rates based on the time of day?

Most utility providers charge a premium for electricity between noon and 6 PM, when businesses are operating at maximum capacity.

Additionally, during the summer air conditioners and refrigerators are in high gear.

A great way to save money is by reducing your usage, particularly if you aren't at home during the day. Turning your refrigerator to a lower setting, turning the air conditioning down, and doublecheck to make sure all energy using equipment is turned off before you leave for work will save you substantially more during the day then at night.

Save tasks for off-peak hours such as running your dishwasher, washer, dryer and other items that use high amounts of power for short durations.
