Curbing this dishwasher habit can offset energy increases

I might be a home energy expert, but that doesn’t mean I’m nailing it when it comes to the most efficient use of energy in my own home.

While I’ve adopted loads of ways to save energy around the house, life gets busy and I sometimes cut corners on my good energy habits for the sake of making life a little bit more manageable.

But now that it’s been confirmed that the energy price cap is going up by 13% in July, my attention is well and truly back on ways I might be wasting energy unnecessarily. And right off the bat, I know there’s one habit I need to curb, and that’s running my dishwasher before it’s full.
