02 / A CLEARER KIND OF EVENING
Less guesswork.
More perspective.
Set the boundaries.
Use average operating power, run duration, and the hours you are comfortable moving. Always follow your appliance’s operating guidance.
Choose the trade-off.
Lower cost can still mean a high peak. Choose a priority, compare both numbers, and keep the parts of the plan that suit you.
Keep it in perspective.
Energy is power × time. Cost uses your entered rate for each half hour. Estimates exclude standby load, cycling, taxes and demand charges. Savings are not guaranteed.
