How to protect yourself from power rate hikes

Your family depends on electricity for appliances, air conditioning, and many other household items. Having to rely on your local electric company means that you can end up facing power rate hikes. In fact, one local power company recently petitioned for a two percent rate increase after raising rates less than a year ago.

How to protect yourself from power rate hikes

Unfortunately, there isn’t much you can do to stop these increases from happening. However, you can control how much power your home uses. Take the following steps to lower your energy usage on a regular basis. Doing so means that you won’t be affected as much by these power rate hikes.

Invest in High-Efficiency Devices

Devices that provide high energy efficiency can help curb the amount of electricity your home uses. These devices, such as smart power strips, can help prevent electronics and other items from drawing power when they’re in standby mode. This can save you money on your energy bills, even with power rate hikes.

Getting appliances, such as laundry machines, refrigerators, and stoves that are more energy-efficient can also reduce your energy usage. Over time, these savings can add up and help protect your budget when the next power rate hike occurs.

Use Energy-Saving Timers

Energy-saving timers help control when lights and certain appliances turn on and off. You’ll also save on energy costs if you use these timers to control major sources of energy use in your home, such as your water heater.

Get a Smart Thermostat

Heating and cooling your home throughout the year is the biggest part of your household’s energy usage. Adjusting the thermostat when you go to sleep or leave your home can help lower your energy bills. However, remembering to do this can be a challenge, resulting in even bigger bills when power rate hikes occur.

With a smart thermostat, you can count on having the temperature in your home adjusted at the right times without having to remember to do it. Smart thermostats can automatically adjust the settings to reduce your energy usage. For example, a smart thermostat will automatically increase a few degrees when you leave your home for the day. You can also control your thermostat from anywhere, as long as you have internet access.

Switch to LED Lighting

Regular incandescent light bulbs are the standard bulbs you find in many homes. These bulbs use more energy and don’t last as long as LED bulbs. This means you have to change them more often and deal with higher electric bills. While the bulbs do cost more initially, they are an energy-saving product. LED bulbs offer a simple way to lower your energy usage and protect against power rate hikes.

Don’t let future power rate hikes catch you by surprise. Contact Turn It On Electric to speak to our electricians about upgrading to LED lighting, installing energy-saving timers, or switching to solar energy at your Phoenix home.

Testimonials

As the owner of Rictor Contracting, I receive many requests from subcontractors to use their services. Though there are several electricians out there, we use Chad as our electrician EXCLUSIVELY. Whether we need a consultation, a simple switch installed, or we’re doing a complete remodel or addition, Chad is the ONLY electrician we ever use. He excels in his trade and holds the same high standards for customer service and workmanship as we expect from ourselves and our employees for our clients. We are always confident in referring our clients, family, friends and neighbors to Chad because we know we can trust that he will perform the best possible service for them.
— Jeff Hunter
Chad is motivated and an outside of the box thinker. He has provided service for our company many times. He is the one we call anytime there is an electrical issue. We have the greatest confidence in his skills and the ability to provide awesome customer service to our clients.
— Marilee Hunter
Always professional, Chad treats you like a friend. He shows a well rounded knowledge of his field seeing things a non-professional might not. I trust his judgment and ability to perform the work he promises.
— John Burke
I'm a REALTOR so I sometimes need a quick bid for a buyer on a plethora of different items ranging from nonfunctional GFCI's to an entire re-wire and electrical box upgrade when we get the inspection back. I called Turn It On Electric and they were able to get a technician out to give us a bid within 24 hours and had the bid to us within 48 hours of our call. It's hard to find responsive contractors in this day and age that's why I highly recommend them to anyone who needs an electrical contractor.
— Dean C.

Had a great experience with Turn it on Electric! We needed a few items fixed according to a home inspection. Pedro was very professional and did an excellent job. They were easy to contact and came out the next day. Will definitely be contacting them for future projects.

We just wanted to let you know how much we appreciated Turn it on electrical for helping our HOA complex get their lights back on quickly.  Our owners were literally in the dark and did not feel safe.  You got us fixed immediately and your technician Don was beyond knowledgeable and friendly.  Your company will be the Electrical Company of choice for our complex. — Holly Merrill - HOA Manager
