Don’t make your air conditioner battle your washing machine.
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.
How this helps
Using appliances when the ambient air is cooler reduces strain on
your air conditioner. Avoiding peak power times can also cut your
electric bills and spare the air.
