At Meltek, we help you make money from saving energy with utility partners like Con Edison, PSEG Long Island, and Orange & Rockland Utilities. During the sunnier seasons, small shifts in your daily routine can add up to big results—for both your pocket and the planet.
With longer days, now's the perfect time to turn off those overhead lights and let in more natural light. Take advantage of natural light whenever possible, especially in the early evening hours. Rearranging the workspace or living areas to face windows can maximize light and reduce your dependence on indoor lighting.
For energy-intensive appliances like dishwashers and washing machines, consider running them earlier in the day, when natural light is at its peak. And if your home is equipped with solar panels, the proper timing appliance usage allows you to maximize your solar energy production—utilizing clean, renewable energy instead electricity from dirtier sources.
As spring brings brighter mornings and earlier sunrises, it’s the perfect time to take advantage of utility Time-of-Use (TOU) rates, which offer lower electricity prices during off-peak hours.
For example, Con Edison’s off-peak window runs from midnight to 8 a.m., when rates are significantly cheaper. By planning energy-intensive tasks during these hours, you can reduce your electricity costs and ease demand on the grid.
It might sound simple, but spending more time outdoors if you are able—whether going for a picnic, gardening, walking the dog, jogging—naturally reduces the energy load inside your home. Plus, it’s a great way to stay active and enjoy everything the season has to offer.
And if you're going outside on April 17th, Meltek will be attending the Earth Day 2025 Festival at NYC’s Union Square. Come meet us and learn more about making money by saving energy and pick up a tote bag or other gifts!
Longer days can also mean higher energy demand—especially in summer. That’s where Meltek comes in.
We partner with local utilities in New York to reward you for using less energy during peak times. When you enroll in our free programs, you’ll receive notifications before a peak event and get paid for making simple adjustments—like precooling your house or turning off unused devices.
Join Meltek this season in making smarter choices that benefit your wallet and the grid. With longer daylight hours, it's the perfect time to take advantage of Meltek’s programs. Together, we can create a cleaner, more resilient energy future.
