There\u2019s nothing worse than getting to the end of your billing cycle only to find out that your Texas electricity bill is through the roof! Often, your appliances are the culprits. Knowing which ones use the most electricity while applying these energy-saving tips can help you avoid bill shock and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reduce your electricity bills in Dallas<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5 Appliances That Use the Most Electricity in Your Home:\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>HVAC (Heating\/Cooling)<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Water Heater<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Washer<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Electric Dryer<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Refrigerator<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Does HVAC Use So Much Electricity?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Figuring out how much the average HVAC system uses isn\u2019t easy. Units of different sizes use more or less energy depending on the size of your home. Climate matters, too. Hot Texas summers mean that your AC unit will need to run longer to keep your home cool. Cold spells mean higher electricity bills, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAn average central ac will use 3000 to 5000 watts of power for around 9 hours a day during the hotter months,\u201d according to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Energy Use Calculator<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. That means during the summer, if you run your AC for 9 hours a day with an energy rate of 10 cents per kWh, you\u2019ll pay $95.82 per month. That&#8217;s just to cool your home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(If you know the exact specs of your A\/C unit, you can calculate its energy use manually <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">using this formula<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Luckily, there are several steps you can take to reduce how much electricity your HVAC unit uses:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get a smart thermostat. If you don\u2019t already have one,\u00a0sign up for a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">smart thermostat energy plan<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This will allow you to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">optimize your temperatures at certain times<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of the day and track how much energy your HVAC uses.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Change your heating and cooling habits. You can <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">save 10% on your annual energy bill<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0by setting your thermostat 7\u00b0-10\u00b0F warmer for 8 hours a day. Raise the temperature higher when you\u2019re away; keep it at\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">78\u00b0F when you&#8217;re home<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> helps, too.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a rel='nofollow' href='https:\/\/www.energy.gov\/energysaver\/maintaining-your-air-conditioner'>Replace your furnace air filters<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> often. Smoking and pet hair can clog filters, reducing your HVAC&#8217;s efficiency. (Check out this resource for help with <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cleaning and replacing your HVAC filters<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Reduce Water Heater Electricity Use<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Roughly 18%<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of the annual energy bill is from heating water. But figuring out how much hot water the average home uses is also tricky. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this study<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, they found that a home with 4 occupants uses around 63.1 gallons a day of hot water. That varied seasonally, however. (Must be those hot winter showers&#8230;).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using those numbers, an average energy rate of 10 cents per kWh, and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">this energy calculator<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you see that an electric water heater will cost you an average of $468 per year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most ways to reduce energy use with water heaters involve habit changes. Choose shorter showers over baths. Only use hot water in your washing machine for extremely dirty loads. And reducing your water heater temperature by 10\u00baF can save you 3-5% on your annual energy bills.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have an older water heater, you should <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">consider insulating it<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If it\u2019s older than 10 years, consider purchasing a newer, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">more energy-efficient model<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. And for smaller homes, a tankless water heater can be <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">24 &#8211; 34% more energy efficient<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Much Energy Does Your Washer Use?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The average American household does around <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8 &#8211; 10 loads of laundry each week<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. That\u2019s a lot of water and a lot of energy use. Most of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the electricity used in a load of laundry<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> goes to heating the water, around 80%. The rest goes to operating the machine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An Energy Star rated washer <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">uses around 500 Watts<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (other models use between 400 &#8211; 1300 watts). At 500 watts with an electricity rate of .10 cents per kilowatt-hour, it will cost you about .25 cents per load with an Energy Star washer. Multiply that by 416 &#8211; 512 (the average loads of laundry over the course of the year), and you get an operating cost of $104 &#8211; $128 per year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The easiest way to save money on your electricity bill from washing clothes is to regularly use cold water. Save the hot water for only extremely dirty loads.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Purchasing an Energy Star washing machine can also reduce your energy bill. These washers use less water and less energy to run larger loads. Over the lifetime of your washer, it can save you around $350.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Can I Save Electricity When Drying My Clothes?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drying clothes uses a lot of electricity. Assuming your dryer uses <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3.3 kWh to run one load<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for 45 minutes at 10 cents per kWh, it would cost around .33 cents per load. Over the course of the year, that adds up to $137. And that\u2019s just for small loads.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The easiest way to save money drying your clothes is <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to air dry them<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If you have space in your yard to set up a clothesline, that would work best. However, there are <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">inside racks<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you can use to dry your clothes. And if you use the right techniques to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">air dry your clothes inside<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it won\u2019t take days either.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If that\u2019s not an option, then there are a few dryer hacks you can use to make your dryer more energy-efficient without buying a new one. Don\u2019t overload your dryer. Change loads when the dyer is still warm. Clean the lint filter often. Dry towels separately. And use <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dryer balls<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Do Refrigerators Use So Much Electricity?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every house needs a refrigerator, and it needs to run constantly. Turning it off isn\u2019t an option unless you want spoiled food. We did a deep dive into<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> how much electricity your refrigerator uses<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. And using the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Energy Star Calculator<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, we found that a 19 cubic foot fridge made between 2001 &#8211; 2010 uses around 651 kWh a year, costing around $78. A new fridge uses about $20 less in electricity each year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your refrigerator is older than 2001, then you should probably replace it. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A new Energy Star fridge<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can save you about $300 over 5 years. But if your fridge isn\u2019t that old, then there are a few energy-saving tips you can try instead:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Never keep your refrigerator in the garage. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Temperature fluctuations mean that your fridge will need to run longer to regulate the air. Keep it somewhere cool, instead.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clean your <a rel='nofollow' href='https:\/\/products.geappliances.com\/appliance\/gea-support-search-content?contentId=16266'>condenser coils<\/a>\u00a0once a year. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dust and grime and pile up on your condenser coils over time. Removing it can help increase your refrigerator\u2019s energy efficiency.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check airflow. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Without proper airflow, hot air stays trapped behind your fridge and prevents the condenser coils from cooling efficiently. Make sure there are a few inches of space behind your fridge so air can move freely.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Clean your door seals. Grease, dust, and food can gunk up the seals of your refrigerator, giving cold air a chance to escape. Regular cleaning ensures an air-tight seal.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set your Fridge to the optimal temperature.<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Keep your refrigerator set to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">36 \u2013 38 degrees\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One last note, your fridge habits can affect energy use, too. Keep regularly used items easily accessible. Pull out all the items you need when cooking at once. Let food cool down properly before storing it. And keep your fridge well-stocked. With more items in your fridge, it can better retain cooler temperatures every time you open the door.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Switch to a New Electricity Provider and Save!<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knowing which appliances are the energy hogs in your home is the first step to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lowering your monthly electricity bills in Dallas<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
