Save energy by running a full dishwasher.

It takes the same energy to run a full dishwasher as a partially full one, so running it only when it's completely full rather than containing a few items makes sense. This will also reduce the number of cycles you need a week.

Consider running the dishwasher at night or when energy consumption is at its lowest. To save you on water, most modern dishwashers are effective enough to get dishes clean without pre-rinsing. Don't forget to select the most energy-efficient cycle option when using the dishwasher.
