Time of Use:  
If your electricity rate varies based on the time of day, Time of Use can save you money by intelligently precooling  
or preheating your home when electricity is less expensive to keep you comfortable, while cooling or heating less  
when electricity is more costly. By shifting energy usage to times of day when electricity is cheaper and cleaner,  
Time of Use is having a positive impact on communities and the environment.  
The Time of Use feature is only applicable if the price you pay for electricity varies based on the time of day. If this  
is not the case and you would like to benefit from the Time of Use feature, please contact your utility provider and  
request to be switched on to a rate plan with variable electricity pricing.  
As part of the eco+ experience, if your home is in an area where Time of Use rates are in effect, a list of utilities and  
rate plans will be displayed. Your utility rate plan can be found on your bill or through your utility account details  
online. As you configure eco+, when entering your utility information, select the information icon in the top right-  
hand corner to view an example of where your rate plan could be shown on your bill. If you are unsure if you are on  
a Time of Use rate plan, please contact your utility provider's customer care team.  
Once you have selected and saved a rate plan, Time of Use will be activated in the following 24-hour period. Once  
activated, during time of use periods (generally during summer or winter), eco+ will preheat or precool your home  
at times of day when electricity is less expensive. When electricity gets more expensive, a setback will be applied  
to consume less energy. Even if your rate plan includes more than two electricity rates based on time of day, the  
same logic will apply: precooling or preheating before each increase of price, and a setback during the higher  
price. The duration of precooling or preheating is customized to each home based on historical thermal data.
