Demand Charge Alerts Program

Get insider info to lower your
year-round energy bills

Did you know that there are specific hours when the utility is most likely going to determine your year-round energy rate?

We send you alerts on those days so you can leverage the system to lower your future rates.

Only 5-7 alerts all summer, with clear directions

The wild swinging of the energy market impacts every property owner and manager.

Hate sitting on your hands and watching your energy costs climb higher… and higher.. and higher?

You’re not as helpless as you may feel.

While you can’t control global inflation or the Fed’s decisions, and you can’t expect tenants to put up with stifling, dark interiors, you can use EZ’s Demand Charge Alerts Program as a free, easy way to lower your future bills – significantly.

Here’s why Demand Charge Alerts work

The utility company bases part of your bill on the total energy demand that needs to be available for your property. The more you might use, the more you pay.
They determine your total energy demand by measuring what you used during specific times, called ‘peak hours’. Those hours are when the statewide system peaked the previous summer.
We monitor your area and let you know exactly when those ‘peak hours’ are likely to occur, so you can lower your usage and thus your bills.

It really is as simple as that!

One of our customers, 2 Tower Center Blvd in NJ, saved $69,040 by simply lowering their energy usage during one summer’s peak hours!

With a heads-up from us telling you exactly what to do and when–you’re all set.

What to do
when you get an alert

Do as many of these things as possible for a couple of hours – so you can enjoy lower energy bills (and lower anxiety!) year-round:

Adjust HVAC settings or shut off cooling systems in unoccupied areas
Cool your building early in the morning so the HVAC uses less energy to cool during the afternoon peak hours
Keep window shades down
Unplug unused appliances
Turn off or reduce lighting wherever you can
Shut down as many elevators as you can do without
