How to save electricity with your washing machine. As we all know in almost every house we have a washer and dryer, these are indispensable for our daily tasks at home. We all make use of them, but without realizing these appliances consume up to 11.8% of energy from our electricity bill every month. Now, how can we reduce this high consumption of electricity?

Choose a washing machine in good condition. (If you are to buy a used one)
- Use a detergent suitable for your washing machine and at a good price.
- Choose the correct cycle for the type of clothes you are going to wash.
- Keep your washing machine in good condition.
- Wash at night.
Choosing a washing machine in good condition will save you electricity at home.
We should choose a washing machine in good condition, that is efficient for our daily needs making our life easier, at the same time we save electricity. As my mom says “Cheap can become expensive”. Why do I say this? Because you should make a good choice when it comes to buying your appliances and making sure you save on electricity, buying a cheap washer and dryer can be very expensive because it will consume a lot of electricity. Today, almost every appliance has a logo that says “Energy Star” which means that it will help you in your energy usage and efficiency up to ⅓ of the light bill.
Suitable detergents:
The best thing is to buy a detergent that works at low temperatures, as it will help us to lower our electricity consumption, hot water consumes electricity. The brands are many of all colors and all flavors, but; which is the one that will help to leave the clothes clean and at the same time will save on your energy consumption? Ariel soap is one of my favorites, also is what the polls say. But the best are liquids, these help you reduce electricity by being more efficient in doing their job. The most important thing is to use the correct amount otherwise it won’t be cost-efficient.
Save more energy choosing the correct cycle to wash
I recommend these small details to make your laundry cycles more efficient and lower your electric bill at home.
- Separate your clothes by color and degree of dirt, for example (light, and dark). In this type of clothing, you can use cold water for a short cycle.
- Fill the washer to its full loads (no less nor overload it) the water will flow better and the washing machine will work at its best.
- If you really have very dirty clothes we recommend you to prewash them, only if necessary, and use the appropriate detergent, use warm or hot water only if necessary, as we know the use of hot water makes the boiler work more and higher energy usage.
- Use short cycles to wash your clothes, you will save time and electricity, only if the clothes are very dirty make long cycles and warm or hot water.
Keeping your washing machine in good condition helps your washing machine last for many years and saves electricity. Always keep the manuals that come with the appliances, they will come in handy.
Lower energy usage by choosing the correct time to wash
The best time to wash is at night, after 7 p.m. or before 9 a.m. especially on summer days, this will help keep your home fresher and save electricity at home. In the evening, you can lower the temperature of your air conditioning or heating, you can even use your washing machine so you will not use as much electricity. I assure you that if we follow these simple tips we will save up to 10% of your electric bill.
