Beat the Peak - Save money on your monthly bill:

Residential customers can save up to $68 each year by signing up for our Beat the Peak option. By allowing Wilson Energy to put a small switch on your heater and/or central AC unit, you can get automatic credits on each month's bill. Save four dollars each month with a switch on your water heater and five dollars each month (four months each year) on your AC unit.

The switches allows us to remotely cycle your water heater or AC unit on and off during times of heaviest energy demand. This allows Wilson Energy to avoid the high cost of peak demand times. It happens only a few times a month, and odds are you'll never notice. Your water heater is well insulated and the fan on your AC will continue to work.

The switches are free for our customers. Of course, we'll be happy to remove them if you choose. Most customers keep them and enjoy the savings for years.
