Find out how to save on appliances, hot water, heating and cooling. Small appliances like your toaster and microwave use less energy than grilling in the oven or cooking on the stove. Fill your dishwasher to capacity. Partial loads use the same amount of electricity and water as a full load. An economy cycle uses up to one third less energy.
Old fridges can use twice as much energy as modern ones.
Make sure all your seals are in good working order. Adjust your wash cycle to match the load if possible. Keep the lint filter in your dryer clean. A dirty lint filter takes the dryer much longer to dry clothes. Heat pumps and solar pool heating use far less energy than electric pool heating.
