I had something similar offered by Duke Energy. They credited like $10/mo to be able to turn my AC off whenever they felt like it. It was terrible. You know when i want my AC the most? When its hot. And that is exactly when it would be disabled. That thing got removed within days.

Turning off is a blunt instrument. A better approach is to set the thermostat higher.

It has the same effect. Its hot out. I want it not hot in my house.
