HOLIDAY TIPS FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY Use your dishwasher efficiently. Only run full loads, and avoid using extra hot water by skipping the rinse-and-hold cycle. If your dishwasher doesn’t have an automatic air-dry switch, simply turn it off after the final rinse and prop the door open so the dishes will dry faster. Help large appliances work efficiently. Keep range-top burners clean from spills so they’ll reflect heat better. When it’s time to put leftovers in the refrigerator, make sure food is covered and allow it to cool down first. That way, the fridge doesn’t have to work harder to cool warm food. Appliances draw energy even when they’re not in use, like coffee makers, microwaves and toaster ovens. The Department of Energy has estimated that one home’s energy vampires left plugged in year-round can add up to $100-$200 in wasted energy costs. Unplug appliances that draw phantom energy load to save. Take your home to the next level with energy-saving and smart technology improvements through Cobb EMC’s Energy Network.
