Demand Big Appliances Module
The Demand Big Appliance module educates customers about which appliances use the most electricity, and which are low-usage appliances. This information enables customers to understand how they can shift the usage of their appliances to reduce their energy use during peak hours. The module also lets customers know that they should avoid using multiple big appliances at the same time during peak hours to help reduce demand charges. The module includes illustrations of high-use appliances, including:
- Dryer
- Pool Pump
- Air Conditioner
- Dishwasher
