Maximizing appliance energy efficiency is key. Choose ENERGY STAR models, maintain them well, and use energy-saving settings. Run them during off-peak hours and unplug when not in use. Proper loading and airflow are also crucial.

Thanks for these practical tips! I've also found that adjusting the thermostat a few degrees lower in winter and higher in summer can make a big difference in energy usage while keeping us comfortable
