Efficient energy demand management plays an essential role in smart grid, sustainable and smart cities applications and efforts to reduce CO2 emissions. In this paper, we propose a framework for describing the household daily energy consumption and how it can be used to help residential households to perform appliance rescheduling to reduce energy consumption and hence reducing their energy bills while keeping resident’s comfort. In this paper, heuristic optimization techniques such as genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) are used for solving the load scheduling problem. Due to its ability to deal with computational complex scenarios in less computational time using less and less computational resources, Heuristic optimization techniques are used. In the proposed model, dynamic pricing is adopted where the objective is to minimize the overall cost of electricity consumption and payments by scheduling different devices in a way that fulfil each individual’s constraints and preferences. Here, MATLAB was used as the simulation platform. Simulation results showed that GA and PSO can optimize energy consumption and bills and at the same time fulfils needs and preferences of each individual customer
