As you wrap up your Thanksgiving feast later this week, you might be gearing up for Black Friday and holiday sales to kickstart your shopping. While hunting for deals, keep in mind that, despite any temperature changes, the timing of your energy usage remains crucial. Shifting usage outside of peak hours (4:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.) can significantly contribute to savings. As colder weather tends to result in higher energy bills, planning for the winter can empower you to better manage your monthly utility expenses.
Consider adding these three fantastic gifts to your wish list, designed to help reduce your year-round energy costs. Not only will they contribute to monthly bill savings, but each also comes with a rebate, thanks to the Golden State Rebates program.
