Enrolling in load management programs and off-hour rate programs offered by your electric utility may save you up to $100 a year in electricity costs.
While details may vary between power companies, these load management programs will usually consist of shutting off power to your home – usually for no more than 10-15 minutes – during times of very high power usage. Additionally, the “shut off” will usually only be during certain peak-usage hours.
Call your electric utility for information about these cost-saving programs.
