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.

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.
