Stored Water Heating
The Stored Water Heating Program encourages energy and water conservation. This program conserves energy by heating water during off-peak hours when electric costs are their lowest. For example, on weekdays, your water heater will heat between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. and on weekends between 11 p.m. and 3 p.m.
