ENERGY SHIFTING TIPS
Electric water heater
Avoid long showers just before or during peak hours. Consider installing a timer to heat water during off-peak hours.
Thermostat
Program it to lower during peak hours, especially when you're not home.
Washer and dryer
Do your laundry (particularly drying clothes) on weekends, or during weekday off-peak hours.
Dishwasher
Use the timer or "delay start" function to wash dishes at night or early in the morning.
Lights
Always turn off lights in rooms not being used.
Computers
Use sleep mode when you can, especially during peak hours.
Cooking
Try using your electric range during off-peak hours. Use a lid to minimize boil time and consider a microwave or toaster oven where it makes sense.
Electric Vehicle charger
Set your charger to charge during off-peak hours.
Stand-by energy
Unplug appliances and electronics you aren't using, since most still use power when plugged in, even when off.
