Clothes Washers and Dryers
Energy efficient clothes washers can save up to $110 annually on your utility bills, with the added benefit of reducing dryer time due to higher spinning cycles.
Money Saving Operating Tips for Washers and Dryers:
- Wash full loads – Clothes washers are most efficient when operated with full loads.
- Wash clothes in cold water whenever possible and always rinse with cold water.
- Use the moisture sensor option on your dryer, which automatically shuts off the machine when the clothes are dry.
- Dry consecutive loads of clothes to utilize the heat left from the first load.
- Keep dryer filters and vents clean; dirty vents and filters slow air flow and cause dryers to use more energy.
- Air dry clothes whenever possible.
