High Energy Bill Concerns

Rebates & Tax Incentives

Here are some helpful ideas to lower your electric bills:

General:

• Choose the "Time of Use" program offered by both APS & SRP.
• Use programmable thermostats so you don't have to worry about turning the air off when you leave.
• Use ceiling fans to feel cooler in each room and save 2%-3% in electrical costs for each degree above 80*.
• Use CFL light bulbs and save 75% in electrical costs.  This also reduces the heat created by standard light bulbs by 75% which lowers the cooling load for each room.
• Install window screens and save approximately $250 a year.
• Wash & Dry clothes in the morning to help reduce humidity in your house and use during off peak hours.
• Use your grill instead of your stove or oven in the summer to prevent overheating the kitchen area.
• Water your lawn in the early morning to prevent quick evaporation and lower temperature around the house.
• Plant shade trees near southern & western windows.

Water heaters:

• Install a timer.  Average water heater cost is $600.00 per year.  Turn off for 8hrs a day and save 25% or $150.
• Install an insulation blanket.  Most heaters are set for 140* which loses heat even in the heat of the summer.

Pool timers:

• Summer hours:  Set for 8-12 hours of run time (during off peak hours).
• Winter hours:     Set for 6-8 hours of run time (during off peak hours).
