Energy Management Tips for Time Advantage and Combined Advantage Rate Plans

• Operate major electric appliances (water heater, pool pump, spa heater) on a timer set to run only during off-peak hours.
• Try using your dishwasher, washer, dryer and range during off-peak hours.
• Leave the air conditioning thermostat set at a constant temperature.
• Limit the number of major appliances you use at the same time during on-peak hours to minimize your demand charge.

Load controllers are devices that automatically control your energy use and may be appropriate for those on the Combined Advantage plan who desire an automated approach to energy management.

For information on load controllers, contact the Energy Management Council at (602) 266-7283.
