In Rotterdam we have two electric meters. A day meter and a night/weekend meter. Why? Nights from 11pm - 6am, and weekends electricity is half off. So the Dutch typically wait until then to run their washers, dryers and other heavy electricity use items. Consider us in.
Wow... this is something that some U.S. electricity providers offer as well (I wish they ALL would). It helps reduce the peak demand load during the day. I would stay up late to do laundry if it meant saving some money.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of it, we're just glad our ditzy realtor remembered to tell us.
ReplyDeleteDo you guys actually have a dishwasher there?? If so, that must be one nice adjustment from your old places in NYC:)
ReplyDeletewe have a dishwasher, we had one at our last apartment too but yes, something I don't want to get used to living without again!
