Water heaters are adjustable. Reduce the temperature (electric wh's have two thermostats) that it keeps the water temp. When you take a shower you can adjust the faucet to get the same temp you always had.
Clothes dryers usually keep running well past what is needed. Mine has a sensor that shuts off when the clothes are dry. I usually set it at "Less Dry" and everything is perfect.
You would be amazed how much you can save by adjusting the thermostat just a few degrees for the heat pump.
