5 Appliance Tips & Tricks to Save Energy and Extend Lifespan
Share
At PRS Appliances, we’re all about helping you get the most out of your home appliances—whether they’re brand-new, second-channel, or scratch-and-dent. These quick tips and tricks can save you energy, reduce your utility bills, and extend the life of your appliances.
1. Keep Your Fridge ¾ Full
Refrigerators run more efficiently when they’re not empty. Cold items help maintain the internal temperature, so your fridge doesn’t have to work as hard to stay cool. Not too full, not too empty—aim for the sweet spot.
2. Clean Your Dryer Lint Trap—Every Time
It’s simple, but so often forgotten. A clogged lint trap reduces efficiency and increases fire risk. Cleaning it after each use helps your dryer run smoother and keeps your home safer.
3. Use Cold Water for Laundry
Most clothes get just as clean in cold water—and you save big on energy by skipping the hot water cycle. Plus, cold washes help preserve color and fabric life.
4. Run Dishwashers at Night
Running your dishwasher after peak hours (usually at night) can lower your energy bill, especially if you’re on a time-of-use rate. Also, make sure to run full loads only for maximum efficiency.
5. Vacuum Refrigerator Coils Twice a Year
Dust and debris on your fridge’s coils force it to use more energy. A quick vacuum every six months keeps it breathing easy and your energy bill lower.
💡 These little habits go a long way. Whether you're using a brand-new appliance or one of our reliable second-channel models, taking care of your machines keeps them running better for longer.
