I called our electric company and they have a program that has different rates for if you are gone all day (higher from 1:01 p.m. til 7:00 p.m. and then extremely lower the rest of the time) Their regular rates are cheaper than that, on average. Since we are home during their peak hours, it is better not to use that program. But it was worth checking into. They did mention that using the dryer when it is cooler outside lets your ac work less.

Where we live the power and water are the same company. We were able to get a discount based on our income level and household size. In Los Angeles where we live you are considered moderate to low income if you make less that 75,000 per yr

April,great idea.Though I've not ck.since moving here and I have insomnia.I've been doing my laundry like 2am.I don't live in an apt.complex where it would bother someone.I'm sure it's cheaper but it's much cooler outside also.Here in NC the weather w/the humidity has been close to 100º.
