Save Power Days from Southern California Edison

With temperatures soaring in the last few weeks, many people are running more power at home or  in the office than they normally would in order to try and keep cool. On days like these, Southern California Edison offers "Save Power Days" to help save power across Southern California. On a Save Power Day, customers are encouraged to reduce their power usage from the hours of 2 and 6 pm. If their usage is below their average, then they will earn credit towards their energy bill. 
Here is a list found on the SCE website of ways to save energy:

• Setting or programming thermostats no lower than 78 degrees.
• Using electric fans instead of air conditioning when practical.
• Turning off unused appliances and equipment.
• Shutting off lights when leaving a room.
• Avoiding evaporative coolers or humidifiers when an air conditioner is running.
• Operating energy-intensive appliances during early morning or evening hours.
• Limiting how often you open your refrigerator door.
