Lower Your Water Heating Costs

Water heating can account for 14% - 25% of the energy consumed in your home. Turn down the temperature of your water heater to the warm setting (120° F). You'll avoid scalding your hands at the same time that you save money.

Time of Use Program

 

GCEA offers a residential time-of-use electric rate that may help you reduce high energy bills. The idea is to use electricity during the off-peak times when electricity is less expensive and to conserve energy during the peak times when electricity is more expensive. Although the RTOU rate is a great tool for reducing monthly electric bills, it is not appropriate for all customers. Whether you are a candidate for the RTOU rate will depend upon your family size and lifestyle.

 

To sign up for the RTOU rate, you must complete a new application for service and pay an application fee. After GCEA receives your application and fee, we will make arrangements with you to change out your electric meter. A new, more sophisticated meter is needed to record the kilowatt-hours used during the on-peak times versus the kilowatt-hours used during the off-peak times.

 

If you are interested in learning more about the RTOU, contact GCEA Member Services at 1-800-726-3523.
