Off-peak program: water heating
Next to heating and cooling your home, water heating is the largest user of energy. If you are looking for ways to save money, we may be able to help through our off-peak program. This program offers a reduced rate in exchange for the ability to interrupt water heaters.
If you are interested in saving money, but want to manage your energy use on your own terms, CCEC is now piloting a time-of-day rate. Contact us to learn more.
