With Demand Conservation, you help maintain a ready supply of energy for our expanding community. In the long run, you benefit because of the reduced environmental effects and costs of building and operating new power plants to meet peak demand. By demanding conservation, you can:

• Make a significant contribution to energy efficiency;
• Increase the energy reliability in your neighborhood; and
• Help keep energy costs low.

We offer you two ways to save money and help the environment. Choose either an air conditioner switch or a programmable thermostat.


Option 1 - Get Paid with a Switch
With the switch option, a device is connected to your home's central air conditioning unit or heat pump. We'll credit your utility bill $5 per month (up to $20 annually) for each of the summer months (June, July, August and September) per central air conditioning unit or heat pump.

Option 2 - Save Money with a Programmable Thermostat
With the programmable thermostat, you will not receive the utility bill credit offered with the switch option; however, if used properly, the thermostat offers you the chance to reduce your year-round heating and cooling bill by 10% to 20% each year. (Demand Conservation customers currently participating with the switch option are eligible for the thermostat option. A $40 fee is required for each switch being replaced.)
