Energy Efficient Washer

An energy efficient washer is one of the wise investments that can target two different utilities that your home has: water as well as electricity. As with other appliances the Energy Star logo, cosponsored by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy, is a good place to start looking. An efficient washer is a good place to start, because on average an American family washes 400 loads of laundry per year. Being able to do this obviously repetitious task more efficiently will mean a lessened bill later that month.

With a qualifying energy efficient washer you can save about a third of the electricity costs of the machine enough to cover the cost of a matching dryer. Also you will be saving half of the normal water costs. The money of the water costs is less valuable than the electrical bill, but the conservation needs to know no bounds. The water savings is equivalent to filling three swimming pools in your backyard. Plus, if your washer is over ten years old and you replace it with an Energy Star efficient washer you could save up to $135 on your utility bills, the combined total of the electricity and water. All of this comes with the peace of mind that you’re contributing to the reduction in energy consumption and the drag, wear, and tear that humanity places on our planet.
