TariffPilot

TariffPilot is a mobile + web app that helps households actually benefit from time-of-use electricity rates without buying new hardware. Users connect their utility account (or upload bills), enter a few appliance habits (laundry, dishwasher, EV charging, HVAC schedule), and the app builds a weekly “best times to run” plan based on their specific tariff and local peak windows. It sends simple notifications like “Run dishwasher after 9pm to save ~$0.60” and tracks whether you followed through. For EV owners, it generates a charging schedule that avoids peak pricing and flags when a flat-rate plan might be cheaper than TOU. The app is realistic: it won’t promise huge savings; it focuses on small, repeatable wins and clear math. It also includes a rate-plan comparison tool that estimates savings if you switch plans, using conservative assumptions and transparent confidence ranges.
