In this heat, it’s best to run some of your appliances during cooler periods, when there’s less demand for electricity.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Work<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even slight dips in the voltage of the current coming into your home can make your appliances work harder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Wear<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It will also cause some parts to wear out faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Demand<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, the heat generated by ranges, ovens, dishwashers, and dryers will make your AC run more, doubling the electricity demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Dishes & Laundry<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you can, do dishes and laundry early in the morning or after dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Baking<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have to bake something, do it early in the morning or after dark, and keep your exhaust fan on afterward to help the oven cool down.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Refrigerator<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Keep your refrigerator and freezer full. Having all the items packed together helps keep them all cold and minimizes heat loss from opening and closing the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Part 2, we will talk about garage refrigerators and stand alone freezers.<\/strong><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
