Fox News senior national correspondent William La Jeunesse reports on proposed changes to California's electric bills on'Special Report.' Power saver programs are utility-sponsored demand response initiatives that help reduce electricity usage during periods of peak demand. These programs typically target central air conditioners (AC) and heat pumps, since cooling equipment drives spikes in summer energy demand. In exchange for incentives such as bill credits or rebates, participating homeowners allow the utility to temporarily adjust or cycle their HVAC systems on hot days. I recently received an email from Leah, an HVAC professional based in Rio Rancho, New Mexico.
