Where do I find my peak and off-peak rates?

On the rate schedule your utility publishes for your plan, and usually on the bill itself. Include any seasonal difference — summer peaks are often much higher.

What shifting usage off-peak saves

What to know

The easiest kilowatt-hours to move are the ones a timer already controls: EV charging, dishwasher, laundry, pool pump, water heater.
Pre-cooling a house before the peak window and coasting through it is the large one in summer, and it needs no equipment beyond a thermostat schedule.
Check whether your plan has a demand charge as well as time-of-use rates. If it does, avoiding simultaneous large loads matters as much as timing.
