Many of our customers on time-of-use plans already conserve between 3-8. Here are some tips for how to do it:

For residential customers:

  • Pre-cool your home before 3 p.m. by setting your thermostat a few degrees lower
  • At 3, set the thermostat a few degrees higher than you’d normally keep it– ideally 78 degrees or higher (unless someone in the home has a medical condition)
  • Avoid use of discretionary major appliances such as clothes washers, dryers and dishwashers
  • Use ceiling fans to help cool people and pets
  • Keep curtains or blinds closed to help prevent your home from heating up
  • Turn off extra lights
  • Avoid operation of pool pumps (it’s best to run those prior to 3 p.m.)
  • Unplug appliances not in use
  • Keep the refrigerator and freezer closed as much as possible
  • Do not charge electric vehicles between 3-8.

For businesses:

  • Pre-cool your facility before 3 p.m. by setting your thermostat a few degrees lower
  • At 3, set the thermostat a few degrees higher than you’d normally keep it– ideally 78 degrees or higher
  • Defer or reduce all non-essential use of commercial and industrial equipment, such as boilers, exhaust fans, reproduction equipment, maintenance and repair equipment, dispensing machines, intercoms, cleaning equipment, circulating pumps and electric chargers
  • Use ceiling fans to help keep people cool
  • Keep window coverings closed to keep out extra heat
  • Keep window coverings closed to keep out extra heat
