Depending on your utility, you can sign up for programs that help you cut down on your bill, like real-time pricing (i.e., using energy when it’s less expensive) and peak-time savings (i.e., getting a credit for running your appliances when the load on our energy grid is high). ComEd also offers AC cycling, which means the utility will cycle your air conditioning off during high-demand hours to cut down on our state’s overall emissions (and earn up to $40 back on your bills this summer!)
