Energy Managment Systems - How Do They Work and save you money? How It Works An Energy Sentry Management System is a computer that balances your electric usage, it connects to your homes' main service panel. Energy Sentry will monitor your electric usage and adjust the way your system uses electricity so that you will maximize your use of the lowest, off-peak, rates. The electric companies manage electricity on a large scale. During peak times the electric companies rely on energy management computers to manage their peaker plants for the large demand times. This system does the same thing for your home. Essentially, it helps to monitor and use electricity when it is at its cheapest. It turns your home into an efficient utility-using system. You get more efficient electricity at cheaper rates while still enjoying a cool home. Why should companies have all the benefit of cheap electricity when you can have it for yourself? Don't take our word for it, though. View the following utility bills and testimonials from clients. The bills are arranged in chronological order by home size. You can choose the electric bill that most closely matches your home's size. The average A.P.S. customer pays over 12.7 cents a kilowatt hour.
With our Energy Sentry you will pay only 8 cents a kilowatt hour (average.)
Call us to start saving money NOW! Our Energy Sentry Energy Management Computer allows you to pay less for your electricity. Instead of paying 14 cents a kilowatt-hour, you pay 8 cents a kilowatt-hour. How does it work? It’s not rocket science really…. Energy Sentry simply monitors all energy used and wisely manages that energy so that you pay the lowest price for it. It provides maximum efficiency for electric power use.. Already have a rate plan with SRP or APS? If you want to SAVE MORE MONEY…consider this: Electricity providers (Salt River Project [SRP] and Arizona Public Service Co. [APS]) offer commercial customers price discounts -- up to 80% off -- for using off-peak supply. Why? Because this solves the supply-and-demand challenge for SRP and APS and allows them to operate more efficiently, saving money. Can homeowner’s do the same? Yes, to a degree. Similar discounted rates are available to homeowners – if you can find the right plan from the more than 20 rate plans between APS and SRP (time-of-use, time-of-use demand, straight demand-based, time-of-use super-peak rate plans, etc.) Not to mention that managing the complex restrictions and requirements is a headache. And with SRP and APS, the savings are not significant; under $10 per month in most cases. By comparison, using an Energy Sentry from Advanced Home Systems saves you 25-50% of what you pay per kilowatt hour for electricity. Don’t give up comfort to gain savings; Take advantage of inexpensive off-peak prices. Because our computer knows everything in your home using power, it only engages during peak hours to maximize your savings. Your Energy Sentry will supercede your thermostat during all peak hours, allowing your home to lose a few degrees during the peak hours. For example: Setting your thermometer at 72º degrees, your home will maintain that temperature during all non-peak times ~ 80% of the time. On-peak hours, your home is using minimal energy and the thermal cooling of the home keeps the temperature comfortable. For only up to an hour or so per day the temperature may rise up to 77º degrees. That is like December weather in Arizona! Engineers read on; everyone else…do not bother. We know you want the details. So for those inquiring scientific minds, we are happy to share. Our Energy Sentry knows exactly what contributes to each hour's energy use and knows how to minimize the amount of time the AC or heat needs to draw energy at expensive on-peak times. So, unlike a programmable thermostat that only knows a certain time, our EMS knows everything the house uses and minimizes use on peak to give you the lowest utility bill while living at temperatures you can enjoy – not endure. We love to discuss algorithms and the parabolic curve of crystal frequencies work with those configurations, but it puts most people to sleep. At the end of the day, not many of our satisfied customer care how it works; as long as it works! And does it ever WORK! View these utility bills as proof! Advanced Home Systems has been helping Arizona homeowners lower their electric bills for over 30 years. When can we start helping you have cheaper utility bills?
