There’s nothing worse than opening an unexpectedly high electricity bill. To help offset costs, it’s a good idea to purchase appliances that won’t affect your bills. In the USA and Canada, look for appliances, including dishwashers, that have an Energy Star logo on them. This means that they have been built to high electrical standards and save energy and money.
The more features dishwashers have, the more chances are that they won’t affect your bills. Look for dishwashers that have a quick wash feature on them. This means that you can wash a load of dishes in under one hour, which is almost half the time of a regular load. It is perfect for small loads or dishes that aren’t too dirty. Less washing time means less energy used.
Another feature that will help trim your electricity bill is air drying instead of heat drying your dishes. Most dishes don’t have to be dried and will instead dry on their own in due time. Make sure you purchase a dishwasher that has the feature to turn off automatic drying.
