It is no secret that when using a washing machine, electricity consumption increases.
However, you can save money if you avoid the most common mistakes in this process.
Next, we will tell you how you can reduce electricity consumption during washing.
Type of washing machine
The largest amount of electricity is consumed by units of classes A++, A+, A, B and some others.
When purchasing a washing machine, it is recommended to choose class A+++.
At the same time, many modern washing machines have an “Economical Wash” or “Eco Wash” mode, which allows you to use a minimum amount of electricity and water.
Loading laundry
When washing, you should load the washing machine tank as much as possible.
Remember that the unit uses the same amount of energy when working with several items and when working with a fully loaded tank.
Powder
Remember: the more powder or liquid detergent, the more foam.
This means that in this case the machine will drain water more often and fill with new water.
Additional options
To save energy, you can not use additional options such as “pre-soaking”, “drying”, “delayed start”.
You can soak the laundry in a basin and dry it on the balcony.
Temperature
If possible, set the modes in which the machine will heat the water to no more than 30-40 degrees.
At a temperature of 60 degrees, the washing machine consumes 4 times more electricity than at 30 degrees.
