Yes, my brother-in-law has an all electric home and is complaining about his very high electric bill. I suggested he shut off his furnace for the 3 hours that the electric company bills $12 per unit (mega something or other). Since that is the device that is using the most electricity. I think he could program his thermostat to do that. 2 years ago he had to replace his furnace, and I suggested he put in a gas furnace and a gas line from the street to his house for it, but he decided to install that electric furnace cause it was a few dollars cheaper. Now he's paying for that decision.
