Xcel Energy Saver's
Switch
How does it work?
As you know, hot summer days mean increased air conditioning use, which pushes demand for electricity to a peak. By participating in Saver's Switch, you'll help us manage these peaks by cutting back just a little on the time your central air cools your home a few days out of the summer. It’s simple, just sign up and Xcel will do the rest. You don’t even have to be home for the installation!
You’ll stay cool and comfortable
On average Xcel activates Saver’s Switch 10-15 weekdays in the afternoon and early evenings of the hottest summer days. Most customers say they don’t even notice when Saver’s Switch is activated. A small remote-controlled switch is installed on the outside of your home near your central air conditioner. The switch cycles your air conditioner on and off while the furnace fan stays on, circulating cooled air throughout your home to maintain your comfort.
Enjoy the Perks
Sigh up for Saver’s Switch now and Xcel will send you a $40 gift card to The Home Depot. You’ll also save $40 off your October energy bill in 2010 and every year after that.
Please note: You must have central air conditioning and receive residential electricity service through Xcel Energy to participate. Restrictions apply. See xcelenergy.com/SaversSwitch for full program details.
Customers who live in apartments or condominiums are not eligible unless they have owner approval and an A/C unit and disconnect box dedicated to their apartment located outside on the ground level near the building. Xcel Energy does not install Saver’s Switch on rooftop, window or wall A/C units for any dwelling.
Installation usually occurs within six to eight weeks, weather permitting, otherwise Spring. No appointment is necessary. All work is performed outside your home near the A/C unit. If, however, you have a locked gate, or anything else that would prevent access to the outside unit, please call us to make an appointment.
Minimum participation commitment is one year. Your participation in Saver’s Switch is automatically carried forward every year unless you notify us of change. You will receive a $40 credit on your October 2010 electric bill and each year after that.
