Small changes to how you run your appliances can shave a noticeable amount off your monthly power bill.

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.
