Cut Costs, Conserve Energy: Mid-Ohio Energy Offers Tips for Peak Hour Use

Mid-Ohio Energy is asking members to limit their electric use between the hours of 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. during this current heatwave.

By reducing the system’s electric use during “peak hours” when electricity is most expensive, they can hold down power costs for all their members.

Using fans instead of lowering the thermostat, running the dishwasher, doing laundry, and taking showers during off-peak hours are a few of the ways to conserve energy.

Other tips include closing the blinds and curtains to block out heat from the sun and turning off all unnecessary lights and electronics.
