What does RS cost a year?
| Household | Uses | A month | Per year | Works out to |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apartment One or two people, no central air, no electric heat | 4,866 kWh | $77 | $919 | 18.9¢ / kWh |
| Family home Three or four people with central air conditioning | 9,453 kWh | $143 | $1,715 | 18.1¢ / kWh |
| Home with an EV Same house, plus an electric car charging overnight | 13,103 kWh | $195 | $2,343 | 17.9¢ / kWh |
Estimates, not quotes. We run three made-up but realistic households through this tariff hour by hour for a full year — including the way air conditioning loads the afternoon and an EV loads the small hours. Your own bill depends on when you actually use electricity, which is exactly the thing a per-kWh number hides.
What you actually pay
| Period | Rate | Applies when |
|---|---|---|
| peak | 17.67¢ up to 2000 kWh17.62¢ up to 15000 kWh17.57¢ | midnight–midnight, June–September |
| off-peak | 17.00¢ up to 2000 kWh16.95¢ up to 15000 kWh16.90¢ | midnight–midnight, October–May |
Plus a fixed charge of $6.726 per month.
Should you be on RS?
The hour of day does not change what you pay here — the month does. Running the same house through the full year, July costs about $201 and February about $108. That $93 swing is part rate and part weather, and it is the reason a budget built on your spring bill will break in July.
Before a single kilowatt-hour moves, this plan charges $81 a year in fixed fees. On the apartment above that is 9% of the whole bill; on the house with a car charging in it, 3%. Fixed charges are invisible in a cents-per-kWh comparison and they punish small users hardest — if you use very little electricity, the headline rate is the least important number on this page.
Who can be on The Toledo Edison’s RS (Residential Service)?
Eligibility is not our judgement — it is written into the tariff The Toledo Edison filed. This is what that document says:
Available for residential service to installations served through one meter for each family unit in a residence or apartment. When service is used through the same meter for both residential and commercial purposes the applicable general service rate schedule shall apply. This rate schedule is not available for service to a commercial, institutional or industrial establishment. The hallways and other common facilities of an apartment building or apartment complex are to be billed on the appropriate general service rate.

If this is new to you
- Tiered billing for electricity: why the last kWh costs more
A cheap allowance, then a cliff. Where the cliff sits is the whole game.
- Should you switch to a time-of-use electricity plan?
A wide peak-to-off-peak gap is a lever, not a saving. Levers need something to move.
- Why is my electric bill so high in summer?
Usually three causes at once, and only one of them is your air conditioner.
- Why is my electric bill so high? Seven causes, in the order to check them
Seven causes, ranked by how often they are the answer. Only two are about using more.
