Summer Saver is a no-cost, energy-saving program that helps SDGE manage electricity demand during warmer months.
How it Works
SDGE installs a Summer Saver device on your central air conditioning unit at no cost. On select summer days, when electricity is at its peak, they activate the Summer Saver device to cycle your central air conditioner “on and off” for a few hours. In return, you receive a credit on your SDG&E bill. Summer Saver is only used May through October. It may be used as little as one or two days, but will never be used more than 15 days.
