As a side product of this advancement newer models have now become more economical and energy efficient to help conserve resources whether this is electricity, water or any other resources.
There are a lot of appliances in our home that could do with being less wasteful, especially ones that get used frequently such as washing machines. Washing machines use a lot of water as well as electricity to heat it to the desired temperature so there are many companies looking into how they can help make their washers use less energy to get the same results, if not better.
There are some companies that can now use lower temperatures that can still wash our clothes at the same standard but can save us significant amounts on our electricity and water bills. Detergent manufacturers are now making products that can work at temperatures as low as 30C.
A lot of households that have had their current washing machine a long time or have seen better days may find that by buying the new models that are available that they could get the benefits of a new fully functioning mashing machine as well as a noticeable saving with regards to energy usage.
Washing machines are now a part of the group of kitchen appliances that we can visibly see how well they perform in the economy stakes. The Energy Star logo as well as the rating for the appliance you are looking at will be present on all models of washing machines on show at the appliance shops. The ratings are like school grades so going for an A rated washing machine is obviously going to be a preferred choice to a B or C rated washer.
Another way to cut down on your energy usage is to look into possibly buying a washing machine that is also a tumble dryer at the same time. This saves the electricity that may have been used to power two separate machines and many washer dryers will automatically start the drying cycle after the washing process has finished providing a more automated and unattended process.
Newer washing machines may even include new features to help you get more washing done quickly which could mean a saving of time as well as money spent on your electricity and water bills.
