SAVE MONEY & STAY COMFORTABLE DURING PEAK TIMES
Turn down your heat in the Fall and Winter, and your AC up in the Spring or Summer, by 1-2° or as low or high as is comfortable. Save even more when you use a programmable or smart thermostat.
During the Fall and Winter:
Set or program your heat to 55° when you’re gone for more than 4 hours.
Between 6 and 9 a.m. and 4 and 8 p.m., turn your heat down 1-2 degrees. Try to keep it at 68° or lower.
During the Spring and Summer:
Set or program your AC to 80° when you’re gone for more than 4 hours.
Between 6 and 9 a.m. and 4 and 8 p.m., turn your AC up 1-2 degrees. Try to keep it at 78° or lower.
Run your washer, dryer, or dishwasher after 8 p.m.
Use a timer to turn off appliances when you’re away.
Use timers and motion sensors to turn off lights that are not being used.
Set your pool pump to run early in the morning or overnight.
