When do you do your laundry, dishes etc...??? If the answer's "in the evening" then you're paying more than you have to!
It's more expensive during peak hours just like peak seasons when you go on vacation. Usually they're between 4 p.m. &10 p.m. (winter) where you could pay up to 5 times the normal rate just for using it when everyone else is!
Instead, try throwing a load in at bed time and drying them in the morning when you get up. This wont work in the summer because the laundry will mildew, but in the colder months it works great for me. I do this with my dishwasher as well.
Your summer peak hours will be different from your winter so you'll need to find out the details by calling or visiting your local power company for peak times & pricing.
Happy saving!
