How to Save 50% on ComEd Bills
ComEd's time-of-use rate plan is one of the easiest ways to reduce your electric bill without changing your lifestyle. Under ComEd's default rate, you pay the same price per kilowatt-hour regardless of when you use electricity. The time-of-use plan charges 30–40% less during off-peak hours (10 PM to 6 AM on weekdays, all day on weekends and holidays) and only slightly more during peak hours. For households that can shift laundry, dishwashing, and EV charging to off-peak windows, TOU rates typically save $15–$30 per month. Our group provides personalized TOU savings calculations based on ComEd usage data.
ComEd's smart thermostat rebate program offers $75–$100 back on qualifying smart thermostats like Nest, Ecobee, and Honeywell. Beyond the upfront savings, smart thermostats automate energy reduction by adjusting temperatures when you're away or asleep, typically saving 10–15% on heating and cooling costs annually. Combined with ComEd's time-of-use rates, a smart thermostat can save $300–$500 per year. Our group shares setup guides optimized for ComEd's TOU rate windows.
Illinois offers some of the most generous energy efficiency rebates in the Midwest, and ComEd customers have access to programs that cover up to 80% of the cost of home weatherization improvements. Insulation, air sealing, and duct sealing projects can receive rebates of $500–$2,000, and the Energy Star appliance rebate program covers refrigerators, washers, dryers, and HVAC systems. Our group tracks rebate deadlines and shares contractor recommendations from verified members.
