Kitchen appliances generate heat that your AC then has to remove — doubling the cost in summer. Here is how to help.

Keep the Fridge Efficient

A fridge in a hot kitchen runs constantly.

Fix: Clean the coils, check the door seal, and keep it away from the oven.

The oven heats the whole kitchen in summer.

Fix: Use the microwave, air fryer, or grill outdoors on hot days.

Dishwashers and dryers add heat and load the AC.

Fix: Run them in the cooler evening hours.
