Time-of-Use Rate Option


Dudkowskis

Steve & Marilyn Dudkowski

“I was glad to see the Time-of-Use rate option available, but didn’t really know what to expect. We found out that by making a few changes, we could save as much as 10% on our monthly bill! We’ve been on it for about a year now and think it’s a smart thing to do. We adjust our thermostat by around 3 degrees during peak periods, and it never feels like we’re sacrificing comfort. We do our laundry after 10 p.m., which is no problem, and avoid cooking during peak periods as well. “When our kids and grandkids come to visit, even though we try to be careful, we don’t save quite as much that month, but that’s OK! The main thing is that it gives us the opportunity to save when we can, and it definitely makes you aware of your energy usage, which is a good thing on several levels. We highly recommend it.” —Steve Dudkowski


Time of Use

“I’ve been very pleased with being on the Time-of-Use rate. It saves me money each month, and that’s always a good thing. I run my dishwasher and do my laundry after 10 p.m., which is no problem because I’m retired and can stay up later. Adjusting when I cook according to off-peak times becomes automatic after a while. I find it’s a good way to save some money with little inconvenience to me.” —Sharon Gorman
