Log in to your TXU Energy MyAccount or smartmetertexas.com to see what times you’re using the most electricity.

Reduce the amount of equipment or A/C units running at the same time. Be especially careful during winter or summer months when heating or A/C units may be working overtime, and keep in mind that electric heat is extremely energy intensive.

When you start up your operations in the morning, don't just flip the switch on all your equipment. Consider a staged start-up, turning on one piece of equipment at a time (maybe one every 20 minutes). You can also create a schedule to ensure that all equipment isn’t operating at full tilt simultaneously.

Upgrade to more energy efficient equipment or downsize your equipment to fit the job. Equipment that’s larger than it needs to be can result in unnecessarily high demand.
