More utilities are rolling out time of use rates to encourage consumers to use electricity during off peak hours. Even if you don’t have a direct financial incentive, it’s better for the environment to shift your usage to off peak times. The duck curve comes to mind. Since heating/cooling is the largest share of usage, I try to run a schedule with good setbacks and pre-heat/cool during before peak hours. I try to do laundry during the day and run the dishwasher at night after peak hours — morning would probably be better but our dog hates it.
