7. I never found the peak-use plan worked for me. It didn't save me much money at all.

Although, I have a tiny house (900 sq. ft.). Maybe it works more for people who have large houses?

Thanks for the well wishes! You stay safe and cool as well!
I worry for the elderly who are living on the edge. They no longer have the malls, libraries, and community centers to shelter in to keep their electric bills low.

Means getting up earlier and earlier to get a morning walk in. Won’t be long till I ditch them all together and stick to the treadmill until fall.
