using it as I described really saves money

Assuming I:

  • own a heat pump ❌
  • own solar panels ❌
  • own a smart water heater of some kind? ❌
  • live somewhere that the temp changes enough that any of this matters ❌

"No you idiot, you just have to spends thousands of dollars on equipment and then you can save $100 a year"

Do you realize how ridiculous you sound? Good for you that you're saving money, but I'm just giving a personal anecdote here, not writing a thesis on home energy management.

You don't need solar panels. Could also just be dynamic energy pricing. Also do not need a water heater. Thermal mass could just be heating the place at a certain time. Don't get the bit about temp changes, maybe you mean you never heat or cool your place?
