David Energy detected a rate class change—what should I do?
A change in your rate class may not mean something is wrong. Your rate class may change if:
You’ve opened a new location
You’ve extended your operating hours
You’ve installed new equipment
Your electricity demand has increased significantly for another known reason
David Energy advisors recommend following some standard best practices for keeping your electricity demand under control:
Ensure your HVAC setpoints are not too high in the winter or too low in the summer. Energy.gov suggests 78° F in the summer / 68° F in the winter while people are present, although you may need to adjust this according to your business needs.
Stagger equipment startup whenever possible
If none of these scenarios apply to you, you may have a metering issue.
To resolve metering issues:
First, check the FAQs on your utility’s website to see if they provide guidance for your specific circumstances
If your issue is not resolved, you may need to contact your utility directly.
