Run appliances during off-hours.

Reduce heat and moisture in your home by running appliances in the early morning or evening when it’s cooler out.
Keep shades, blinds, and curtains drawn.

About 40 percent of unwanted heat comes through windows.
Hang laundry to dry

A typical clothes dryer uses up to four times more energy than a clothes washer.
Keep your cool.

Let cold air circulate between items in your fridge, but pack things tight in the freezer.
Beware of vampire voltage.

Many electronics continue to draw power even when they’re turned off. Be sure to unplug devices when you’re done.
Give your computer a rest.

Set your computer to go to “sleep” after 20 minutes of inactivity.
