Do you know which appliance between the washing machine and the dishwasher consumes the most? <\/strong> This is precisely what  increases consumption on the bill<\/strong> . Here are the techniques to save.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Energy-intensive household appliances: how to avoid high bills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most of the  appliances<\/strong>  we use at home are energy-intensive,  that is, they consume large quantities of energy<\/strong> . They are the main ones responsible for the  bills<\/strong>  which every month, also due to the  energy crisis<\/strong> , are increasingly higher.Energy-intensive household appliances \u2013 Nanopress.it<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to some market surveys,  55% of electricity costs depend on the use of household appliances. <\/strong> There are some that we use every day, for example  the washing machine, the dishwasher and the  <\/strong>refrigerator<\/a>  , and others less frequently, for example  the microwave oven or the electric kettle.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each of these household appliances mentioned involves  a more or less high kW consumption <\/strong> which then translates into  costs reported on our energy bill. <\/strong> But what are  the most energy-intensive household appliances?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, have you ever wondered whether  the first or the second consumes more between the washing machine and the dishwasher? <\/strong> Today we find out and we tell you that  the answer might surprise you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washing machine or dishwasher, what consumes more on your bill?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Washing machine and dishwasher are the most used appliances in a home<\/strong> , the ones you just can’t do without. You certainly won’t be surprised to discover that these are  two of the most energy-intensive appliances on the market<\/strong> , mainly responsible for the  high costs on your bill.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 In this period of energy crisis,<\/strong> many people and families  are trying to adopt strategies for  a more conscious consumption of electricity<\/strong>  and to avoid, consequently, having to pay  excessively high bills at the end of the month.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, no matter how committed we are to a  more conscious use of household appliances<\/strong> , giving up the washing machine or dishwasher today is truly impossible. Have you ever wondered which of the two appliances,  washing machine or dishwasher, consumes more on your bill? <\/strong> The answer is unexpected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most energy-intensive household appliance is the washing machine! <\/strong> Consider that an  energy class A washing machine with 260 wash cycles consumes an average of 240 kWh per year<\/strong>  which translates into a cost of  63 euros per year on the invoice.<\/strong>Washing machine, the appliance that consumes the most energy \u2013 Nanopress.it<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, consumption also depends  on the use of this appliance<\/strong>  and in particular on the temperature you choose to carry out  the washing cycles<\/strong> . An example?  At 40 degrees you save 30% of energy<\/strong>  which doubles if you wash at  50 or 60 degrees.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since it is practically impossible to give up the use of the washing machine, you need to adopt strategies  that allow you to save money<\/strong> . According to experts,  the Eco mode<\/strong> , which is perfect for frequent washing, allows you to use this appliance without consuming too many kilowatts. Another tip to take advantage of is this:  buy a washing machine with energy class A, A+, A++ or A+++<\/strong> : in this way you safeguard the environment and also save on your bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dishwasher costs and consumption: advice from the experts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As regards  the dishwasher<\/strong> , on average this appliance consumes  220 kWh which corresponds to a bill cost of around 60 euros<\/strong> . Again, there are strategies you could adopt to save money.Dishwasher consumption \u2013 Nanopress.it<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, experts recommend  starting the dishwasher only when it is loaded<\/strong> , using  programs that work at low temperatures<\/strong>  such as the classic  Eco mode<\/strong>  which allows you to save up to  30% energy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you  also avoid the drying or pre-wash programme<\/strong> , you save a further  15% of energy<\/strong> . Also pay attention to the  cleaning of the appliance<\/strong> . Maintenance is important:  if the dishwasher works perfectly you will save 30% on energy. <\/strong> Also in this case, the best dishwashers are those with  energy class A, A+, A++ and A+++.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
