So as far as my cost are concerned, I pay the same per kilowatt day and night.  Thus, modifying my usage makes no absolutely no financial sense.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[John]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 16th 2008 2:22PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How to Save Money on Your Monthly Tech Bills 6]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/10/16/how-to-save-money-on-your-monthly-tech-bills-6/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/10/16/how-to-save-money-on-your-monthly-tech-bills-6/</guid><description><![CDATA[Daytime electric rates are not higer during the day for residential customers, they pay the same rate 24 hrs a day.

If you aren't you have to switch to it. It's only going to save you if you are not using power during the day.  I am home all day so it would cost me more if I switched.  Without this special plan you pay the same for every kilowat hour. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Norma Canva]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 17th 2008 3:44PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How to Save Money on Your Monthly Tech Bills 6]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/10/16/how-to-save-money-on-your-monthly-tech-bills-6/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/10/16/how-to-save-money-on-your-monthly-tech-bills-6/</guid><description><![CDATA[The only flaw about references air conditioners is that in the day time that is when we want them on, not at night when its cooled down: in most places in temperate zones anyway.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cordova928]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 16th 2008 7:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How to Save Money on Your Monthly Tech Bills 6]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/10/16/how-to-save-money-on-your-monthly-tech-bills-6/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/10/16/how-to-save-money-on-your-monthly-tech-bills-6/</guid><description><![CDATA[I have been doing laundry and running the dishwasher at night when demand is lower for years, now.

I called my utility company and they said this is FALSE.  I was told there is absolutely no difference in the rate no matter when I use an appliance.  I was also told that to POSSIBLY see a rate difference I would need a special meter installed in our home which tracks our usage.  If we could show we used the majority of our electricity on "off hours" (and who knows what that might mean in reality...after 7PM?  11PM?)...there might be a small savings.  <br><br>So, I have no idea why I keep hearing, reading, etc. that there's a savings using electricity in the evening.  Can anyone tell me what the real deal is here?  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Susan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 23rd 2008 7:39PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
