Motivated by Sailin's "frugality," I decided to try putting my water heater's vacation mode on (60) while we're away the next week and while away the last two weeks of August.
In addition, most info I found says to set the central AC thermostat to 85 while away, so I'll try that as well—we usually just bumped that up from 72 to 75.
I subscribed to Direct Energy this AM for my provider, which will limit my increase to $.165 vs. the $.225 Eversource jumps to this month. It looks like they had a $.12/.13 deal a couple weeks ago for a bit, but I missed that. Either way, it cuts the increase in half.
