Feel the bottom of the front door while the AC is on. A cheap sweep beats a fancy gadget.

Spark Mission — run it full.
Dishwasher: full, air-dry if you have the button. Washing every mug under a hot tap can use more.

Summer: counterclockwise, breeze down. Off when nobody is in the room. Fans cool people, not air.

Spark Mission — one bulb.
Swap the lamp you use most to LED if it is still the old kind. One lamp is a start, not a lecture.

Spark Mission — the fridge.
Decide before you open the door. Dusty coils make it work harder.
