So, a representative from Dominion Power stopped by the other day and asked my wife if they could install one of those automated control devices on our Central Air unit so that they could shut it off during high demand/peak load periods. Being the smart women she is, she said she would have to think about it. I told her under no uncertain terms am I going to give anyone the ability to regulate my air conditioning during the summer. If I want my house to be 60 degrees and am able to pay for the electricity, than that is my right. If Dominion has such great issues with their ability to keep up with the demand, they need to fix their infrastructure and not expect their paying customers do go without what they are paying to have.
