If you want to reduce your SRP electric bill, it is essential to know what is using the most energy during the peak hour. Here are some of the top peak-time perpetrators every homeowner needs to know.
Air conditioner
The age of your air conditioner plays an important part in how much energy it uses. Newer air conditioners run more efficiently but it is not as much compared to how you can save when you shift the usage of your air conditioner to about 90% off peak and just 10% on peak.
You can practice supper cooling because it does not cost anything and you will be amazed at how much your bill will drop. If you have two ACs, you have more opportunities to save by ensuring each unit does not come on at the same time during peak hours.
Pool pumps
You should set your energy management systems to manage your pool pumps if you don’t want to spend a lot of money on your pool pumps. Pool pumps running in the middle of the afternoon can spend a lot of energy.
Some pool men run the pool pump at the highest setting for a long time and during the hottest part of the day so as to filter algae growth. However, these practices will cost you a lot of money. There is a reason you should calibrate the variable speed of your pool pumps.
Recirculation pumps
This is another appliance that can use a lot of energy in your home. These pumps are typically installed next to water heaters. They are used to push hot water to the furthest fixture on demand. However, the problem is that these pumps come with a timer that gets overlooked and instead of switching on the pump a few hours a day, they set it to be throughout. You can use the timer to lower your SRP electric bill.
