5. Chase Off-peak Hours

In the United States, electricity is more expensive during peak hours as compared to off-peak hours. Although the hours vary for each state, and even for each city in some cases, electricity is expensive during the day, and cheapest at around 5 AM when it is being used the least. Additionally, there is significant difference in electricity prices even between the busy afternoon when it is more expensive than the early morning. For people who want serious cuts on their electricity bill, juggling their chores around these times would be beneficial. Appliances that tend to use a lot of energy such as washing machines, dishwashers, and irons should be used primarily during off-peak hours so as to be billed the minimum amount by the supplier. Although the idea does not seem very practical, it is inarguably one of the smartest ways to cut electricity bills.
