Whether or not you’re running your air conditioner (we haven’t been), this is a great tip from the TerraPass blog:
Another tip for keeping your house cool in the summer: run your washing machine, dishwasher, and drier at night. These big appliances throw off a lot of heat, and during the day you’re just going to make your air conditioner work overtime to keep the house cool. Another benefit of using your big appliances at night is that you reduce strain on the electrical grid during peak hours.
This has proved so effective in cutting energy costs, the UK has kicked off a nighttime dishwasher campaign.
