“…The lower unit price of water compared with electricity may help people stabilize their budgets. This provides electricity conservation and living cost incentives to residents (Tiefenbeck et al, 2019), which may act as a substitution effect and change the impact of climate change on residential electricity consumption. Moreover, as illustrated in Figure 1, this substitution effect may be heterogeneous.…”

Purpose As climate change impacts residential life, people typically use heating or cooling appliances to deal with varying outside temperatures, bringing extra electricity demand and living costs. Water is more cost-effective than electricity and could provide the same body utility, which may be an alternative choice to smooth electricity consumption fluctuation and provide living cost incentives. Therefore, this study aims to identify the substitute effect of water on the relationship between climate change and residential electricity consumption. Design/methodology/approach This study identifies the substitute effect of water and potential heterogeneity using panel data from 295 cities in China over the period 2004–2019. The quantile regression and the partially linear functional coefficient model in this study could reduce the risks of model misspecification and enable detailed identification of the substitution mechanism, which is in line with reality and precisely determines the heterogeneity at different consumption levels. Findings The results indicate that residential water consumption can weaken the impact of cooling demand on residential electricity consumption, especially in low-income regions. Moreover, residents exhibited adaptive asymmetric behaviors. As the electricity consumption level increased, the substitute effects gradually get strong. The substitute effects gradually strengthened when residential water consumption per capita exceeds 16.44 tons as the meeting of the basic life guarantee. Originality/value This study identifies the substitution role of water and heterogeneous behaviors in the residential sector in China. These findings augment the existing literature and could aid policymakers, investors and residents regarding climate issues, risk management and budget management.

“…Despite the increasing interest in how relations shape energy demand, their impact and implications in developed countries have not yet been studied empirically. There has been abundant literature identifying the factors influencing heterogeneous energy demand, such as time-of-use (White et al., 2018), 22 building performance (Aghniaey et al., 2019), 23 individual consumer attributes such as environmental awareness (Tiefenbeck et al., 2019), 24 and income (Rosa et al., 2012). 25 However, there is a dearth of empirical research on social relations, especially social relations in the homes and with family, as an analytical unit and how it shapes or intervenes in energy use.…”
