Conservation

How does it work? On the hottest weekday afternoons during the summer, when the use of air conditioners is greatest, Coopérative Hydro Embrun may signal to your thermostat to cycle your air conditioner to alternately run for 15 minutes and pause for 15 minutes over the course of the peaksaver event. This will typically happen on the hottest weekday afternoons during the summer when demand on the electrical system is the greatest. Weekends and holidays are excluded. The duration of the peaksaver event is typically 4 hours. Your fan will continue to run so you may not notice that an event is taking place.

Look for ENERGY STAR energystar_blue

appliances, which are among the most energy-efficient on the market and try to choose the right size refrigerator for your needs. The larger the appliance the more electricity it will use so consider the number of people that will be using the appliance. Also, look for a low EnerGuide rating which will help you make an energy-wise choice when buying a new appliance.
