Summer in Kingston brings long, sunny days and rising temperatures and often, higher energy bills. With appliances working harder to keep your home cool and functional, the season can put extra strain on your household budget. But with a few simple strategies, you can reduce energy consumption without sacrificing comfort.
Here at ApplianceNow, we’re committed to helping Kingston homeowners get the most out of their appliances. Whether you’re upgrading to newer models or optimizing your current setup, these energy-saving appliance tips are designed with your comfort and savings in mind.
Why Appliance Efficiency Matters in Summer
During the summer months, your appliances, especially air conditioners, fridges, and washers, run more frequently. That added workload increases energy usage. But with the right habits and adjustments, you can reduce both power consumption and wear on your machines.
Consider Upgrading to Energy-Efficient Models
If your appliances are over a decade old, it might be time to consider an upgrade. Today’s ENERGY STAR® certified models are built for better performance and lower energy usage making them ideal for summer.
ApplianceNow is proud to offer a wide selection of energy-efficient refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, and more. Our team is always happy to help you find a model that suits your needs, budget, and sustainability goals.
Keep Your Appliances Well Maintained
Routine maintenance helps your appliances run more efficiently and prevents breakdowns during peak seasons. Clean air filters, clear refrigerator coils, and sealed doors all contribute to optimal performance.

Practice Smart Appliance Habits
Efficiency isn’t just about what you use. It’s how you use it. These practical tips can help you save energy with home appliances during summer:
- Run dishwashers and washing machines only with full loads.
- Wash clothes in cold water to reduce water heating costs.
- Use the air-dry setting on dishwashers and line-dry clothing when possible.
- Cook with a microwave or stovetop instead of your oven during hot afternoons.
Simple habit changes like these make a big impact over time.
Unplug Unused Devices
Many small appliances and electronics continue to use energy even when turned off. This “phantom energy” can account for a surprising portion of your bill. Use smart power strips or unplug devices when not in use to eliminate unnecessary energy draw.

Reduce Strain on Cooling Appliances
Keeping your home cooler helps appliances like your refrigerator and air conditioner run more efficiently. Try:
- Closing curtains or blinds during the hottest part of the day
- Using fans to improve air circulation
- Sealing gaps around windows and doors to keep cool air inside
These simple steps support appliance efficiency and contribute to a more comfortable living environment.
