[QUOTE="Disgruntled Computer Tech, post: 1848451, member: 2350"] I have been on smart hours for a few months now. There was a couple of critical days a few weeks ago that were like 50 cents per kwh. I just basically turned everything off during that time. No big deal. My bill this time last year was $205. This year, my bill for the same period was $109. Now, it hasn't been as hot as last year, but I am actively thinking about ways to cut power. It's like a game. So, obviously, the biggest savings on this plan is your own drive to try and cut power, not really the rates. The biggest change I have made is I keep the house at 77 degrees instead of 74 or 73 like I did last year. If I get hot, I switch on a ceiling fan or oscillating fan. One last thing, I have not had them install my free thermostat yet. From what I am hearing in this thread, it sounds like a POS? Should I just forget that one and get my own from Home Depot? [/QUOTE]
