Plan in advance when using high heat-producing appliances, and conserve more electricity this summer:
🔹Use dishwashers, washers, and dryers off-peak times (such as morning or evening when it's cooler) to use less electricity.
🔹Wash clothes in cold water when possible.
🔹Use a microwave, toaster oven, or outdoor grill instead of your oven to avoid heating up the house.
🔹Unplug smaller electronics and chargers not in use to cut "phantom" draw.
🔹Switch to LED bulbs; they run cooler and use less energy.
