改变你的用途
在可能的情况下, use heat-generating appliances, 比如洗衣机, dryers and dishwashers, in the morning or at night. On a Time-of-Use plan, save on your 比尔 by shifting outside the on-peak hours of 4 p.m. 到晚上9点.m.
Cool Down with a Fan
Use ceiling and tabletop fans to cool off, and leave the thermostat at a higher temperature. Turn fans off when you leave a room as fans cool people, not rooms.
遮挡阳光
During the heat of the day, cover windows to block the sun’s heat. If you can, open windows at night and in the early morning to let in cool air.
Use Small Appliances
Instead of the oven, use small appliances such as a microwave, toaster oven or slow cooker. They use less energy and won’t add much heat to your home.
断电
Switch off your electronic devices, such as computers and coffee pots, when not in use. Keep in mind, electronics in standby mode still draw power. Use a power strip to power down devices and appliances at one time.
Precool Your 首页 before 4 p.m.
Take advantage of lower priced energy by setting your A/C between 68⁰ and 74⁰ F before 4 p.m. During on-peak hours of 4 p.m. 到晚上9点.m., adjust your thermostat to 78⁰, health permitting.
检查你的过滤器
Check your A/C’s filter every one to two months, and keep your clothes dryer vents and lint filters clean. Dirty filters cause your system to work harder, which wastes energy.
Take Advantage of Super Off-Peak Hours
On our most popular Time-of-Use pricing plan, TOU-DR1, energy is priced lowest during the super off-peak hours of 9 p.m. 到6岁.m. on weekdays and before 2 p.m. on weekends and holidays.
