Dishwashers and Dehumidifiers
Energy efficient dishwashers can save you more than $25 a year in utility bills. A 40-pint ENERGY STAR qualified dehumidifier can save consumers roughly $20 per year. This can add up to $200 or more over the life of the unit. That's enough to pay for the dehumidifier!
Money Saving Operating Tips for Dishwashers:
- Wash only full loads – running two half loads can take twice as much energy as a full load.
- Avoid using the heat-dry, rinse-hold and pre-rinse features. Instead use your dishwasher's air dry option, it can cut energy use in half.
