Energy-Efficient Appliance Tips for Texas Summers

Texas summers push every cooling appliance in your home to its limit. A few small changes can ease the load and lower your energy bill.

When temperatures climb, your refrigerator and air conditioner work harder than any other appliance in your home. A few adjustments can ease that strain and lower your summer energy bill.

1

Keep Refrigerator Coils Clean

A refrigerator with dusty condenser coils works significantly harder in a hot kitchen. Cleaning them before summer starts is one of the highest-impact habits on this list.

2

Avoid Running the Oven During Peak Heat

Using the oven heats up your kitchen and forces your AC to work harder to compensate. Cooking with a microwave or outdoor grill during the hottest parts of summer reduces that load.

3

Change AC Filters Monthly

A clogged air filter restricts airflow and forces your air conditioner to run longer to reach the same temperature.

4

Run Full Loads in the Washer and Dishwasher

Both appliances use roughly the same amount of water and energy whether the load is full or half-full, so combining loads improves efficiency.

5

Keep the Freezer Reasonably Full

A fuller freezer retains cold air more efficiently than a nearly empty one, meaning the compressor cycles less often.
