Our last two blog posts encouraged you to move heat-generating objects away from your thermostat and change your air conditioning unit's filter once a month. Both of these will help keep your energy bills down this cooling season, but we have one more tip to share that can help even more.
Limit your appliance use during the day. Your dryer, oven, and dishwasher produce a large amount of heat, simply meaning when they're in use your home gets hotter and your air conditioner runs more often. To avoid increasing the temperature in your house you can let your clothes air dry, wash your dishes by hand, and cook lunch or dinner on the grill. If those solutions aren't your cup of tea, you can always wait till the sun goes down and it's cooler out to turn on heat generating appliances.
