Other Smart Ways to Reduce Your Utility Bill:

Delaying appliance use during peak times of the day (i.e., winter = morning 6-9 am; summer = later afternoon/evening 4-8 pm) is another good way to help keep rates low. For instance, during the hot summer months, delay doing a load of laundry or running the dishwasher until after 9 pm.....prepare your meals in advance to avoid cooking during peak times.....set your thermostat to 78 degrees or higher during summer months and 68 degrees or lower during winter months.
