Clothes washers have a significant impact on sewer costs.
Look at the EnergyGuide label placed on all new clothes washers. You will also save more on clothes drying, because most remove more water from your clothes during the spin cycle. A typical large-capacity washer found in most households, is about 2.7 cubic feet. Because washers are most efficient when they are fully loaded, you should choose a size that most closely matches your laundry needs. For a family that does a lot of laundry, one of the larger models probably makes the most sense.
