Cycled Air Conditioning

The EnergyWise Cycled Air Conditioning Program lets your cooling system take an occasional time out while still keeping your home cool and comfortable, saving you money and energy. To enroll in the Cycled Air Conditioning Program, you must also enroll in the EnergyWise Dual Fuel Program. Please note, this requires an adequate, whole home backup heating system.

HOW IT WORKS

Cycled Air Conditioning is an energy conservation program that cycles your air conditioner or air source heat pump on and off in 15-minute intervals on peak demand days. Control times may be as many as 20-25 days per year and usually occur in the late afternoons and early evenings. When enrolling on the Cycled Air Conditioning program with the Dual Fuel Heating program you will need a metering package to be installed. Stearns Electric provides this metering package.
