Conserve your electric with this heat wave...

SDG&E asks customers to reduce their use tomorrow SDG&E is asking customers to reduce their use tomorrow due to hotter-than-average temperatures. While we're not experiencing a system emergency at this time, you can help reduce strain on the electric grid by reducing your electricity use between 11 a.m. - 6 p.m. tomorrow. By doing so, you will be eligible to earn a bill credit of $0.75 per kilowatt hour saved. Here are some quick tips to help customers save energy at home: * Raise your central A/C's thermostat setting four to six degrees. * Run major appliances before 11 a.m. or after 6 p.m. * Unplug chargers and power strips. * Turn off pool pumps between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. Customers are encouraged to log on to My Account at sdge.com after the event by going to the My Energy tab and click on My Energy Use. Find your "Use Less Than" amount on the table and put your conservation plan in place to earn rewards. For more information, visit sdge.com/reduceuse It's always a good idea to conserve when it's hot, but I am really glad I am with Edison as most of Aliso Viejo is.. because I hear that SDGE is really expensive.
