Combined Advantage 7 p.m. - Noon Rate Plan

This plan may be best for you if:

• You will generally use 1,000 kWh or more each month due to the size of your home and type of appliances.
• You are able to use more of your energy during off-peak hours, and can operate your major electric appliances such as the water heater, pool pump and spa heater with a timer to run during off-peak hours.
• You are able to use your dishwasher, dryer, washer, and range more during off-peak hours.
• You have a programmable thermostat or can set your air conditioning to a warmer temperature during on-peak hours.
• You are able to spread out your use of major appliances during on-peak hours, so you are not using them simultaneously.

Here's how it works:

• The plan is billed on an off-peak and on-peak basis, with an on-peak demand component*.
  • Off-peak hours are weekdays from 7 p.m. to noon and all day Saturday and Sunday, as well as six major holidays.
  • On-peak hours are Monday through Friday from noon to 7 p.m. and are billed at a higher rate.
  • The demand is the one on-peak 60-minute period of the month when you use the most electricity. It is also the largest component of the bill.
• To save money, it is important for you to use more energy on weekends and weekday mornings before noon or evenings after 7 p.m., since electricity used during off-peak hours costs less. It is also important to limit the number of appliances that you use at one time during on-peak hours.

*The APS meter readers must have safe on-going unlimited access to physically touch the meter each month, in order to determine on- and off-peak usage.
