Control Periods
We normally go into load control when there is a high demand for electricity. Most often this will be during times of extreme temperatures, hot or cold. During winter months, this usually occurs in the early morning hours. In summer months, this usually occurs in the late afternoon.

We average going into control three or four times a month. When we are in control, your air/heat unit will cycle 15 to 22 minutes on and 7 ½ minutes off. Your water heater will be off 3 to 4 hours each time.
