Dryers

Fact:
The clothes dryer uses more electricity than every appliance after the refrigerator, and costs about $85 to operate annually. A typical clothes dryer will cost $1,100 to operate over its lifetime.
  • Use 15% less energy.
  • Save $12 in your operating costs.
  • Be gentle on your clothes and avoid over drying.


Best Features:
New dryers aren't required to display Energy Guide labels, which makes it hard to compare the energy efficiency of different models in the showroom. In selecting your dryer, look for an appliance that...
  • Removes moisture more efficiently.
  • Has moisture sensors.
  • Has automatic shut-off controls to avoid over drying

 

Save Money:
Dryers work by heating and aerating clothes. The efficiency of a clothes dryer is measured by a term called the energy factor. Energy-efficient dryers take less money to operate, and can actually produce cleaner, fresher clothes. Following these operating tips and the info in the Fast Links will save you more money:
  • Locate the dryer in a heated space so it doesn't have to work as hard.
  • Use the straightest and shortest metal duct available to you.
  • Replace the outside dryer exhaust vent if it doesn't close.
  • Clean the lint filter in the dryer after every load to improve air circulation.
  • Dry similar types of clothes together to reduce energy use.
  • Dry two or more loads in a row, taking advantage of the dryer's retained heat
