Appliances are among the biggest electricity users in the home. These habits cut consumption without buying anything new.
Wash Cold and Full
Heating water is most of a wash cycle's energy; half-loads waste it.
Fix: Use cold water and run full loads in the washer and dishwasher.
Maintain for Efficiency
Dirty coils and clogged vents force appliances to work harder.
Fix: Clean fridge coils and dryer vents on schedule.
Air-Dry When You Can
The dryer and the dishwasher heated-dry cycle are energy-hungry.
Fix: Air-dry laundry and open the dishwasher to dry dishes when time allows.
