Delay Using Large Appliances
Avoid running dishwashers or laundry machines from 2 to 10 p.m. when energy use is highest.
Limit AC and Appliance Use
If you have multiple air conditioners, use only one. And if necessary, try to run just one large appliance at a time.
Use Fans With, or Instead of, AC
Fans help cool and circulate air, so you can rely less on air conditioning to stay comfortable.
Set AC to a Higher Temperature
Keep your AC at the highest comfortable temperature to save energy and money.
Turn Off AC When You’re Away
Switch off your AC when you leave and set a timer to cool your home 30 minutes before you return.
Hold Off on Charging Your Electric Vehicle
Charge your EV or plug-in hybrid after 10 p.m., unless necessary.
Keep Shades, Blinds, and Curtains Closed
About 40% of unwanted heat comes through windows.
