Hourly Pricing alerts have been enhanced to help you save even more. The alerts will tell you to either reduce now or tomorrow.

Alerts are sent when electricity prices are trending high or when electricity is expected to be in high demand the following day.

No matter when an alert tells you to reduce, you can take the same actions - like delaying the start of major appliances or raising your air conditioner thermostat by a few degrees.

Load Guard is a service offered to all Hourly Pricing participants with a central air conditioner who are also enrolled in ComEd’s Central Air Conditioning Cycling (AC Cycling) program. Load Guard automatically moderates your central AC usage during high-priced hours. When the 14 cent price level is reached, Load Guard switches your central AC into a conservation mode for a two-hour period. During this conservation mode, your air conditioner’s compressor will cycle off and on every 15 minutes. For Load Guard FAQs visit: https://hourlypricing.comed.com/faqs.
