- Smart tanked water heaters hold heat for many hours. Shut off during high load times. Nearly invisible to user in most cases.
- Space heating & cooling pre-heats or pre-cools before anticipated peak demand & shuts off during peak. E.g. Nest Rush Hour Rewards.
- Electric dryer waits to start until rates are low. Or could even interrupt briefly during a short spike. Clothes will not mind being damp another thirty or sixty minutes.
