Cut Costs on Your Summer Energy Bill

Warmer temps are on their way, but it doesn’t have to mean higher energy bills. Use major appliances when energy is less expensive, before 4 p.m. or after 9 p.m. Here are ways to save energy and money while staying cool. For more ideas on how to save energy, visit sdge.com/MyEnergy.

Use smart plugs for appliances: Smart plugs allow you to schedule when your appliances are on or off – even remotely. They also help reduce “vampire draw” since appliances still use energy when they’re off but still plugged in.
