How do I save money with PowerSmart?
The amount of electricity you use is the result of two basic components:
- the length of time you use your lights and appliances (hours); and
- the amount of electricity each of these use in your home (watts).
Most residential customers use the majority of their electricity during the shoulder and off peak periods. PowerSmart Home offers you an opportunity to reduce your electricity bill if you are able to make small adjustments and move some of your electricity consumption out of the peak period and into the shoulder and off peak periods.
For example, the pool pump is an easy one to target. You could turn the thermostat on your air conditioner up a degree or two in summer or down one or two degrees in winter during the peak period. Or you may be able to move the use of appliances like your dishwasher, washing machine, clothes dryer and pool pump outside peak periods.
