Energy Tips #4: Washer / Dryer

[CommunityEnergyProj]

Just a few comments...

What about renters and people who cannot afford new washers and dryers? Maybe you want to mention things like being sure to wash full loads and operating your washer/dryer during non-peak hours (at night, very early in the morning). Also, you want to be careful about drying your clothes indoor in the winter. In some parts of North America this can create mold problems, and can actually pull heat out of the air making your furnace kick on more, using more energy.

Any comment about water so close to so much electricity?

@bodgerdave as long as the water is BELOW the electric, probably not a problem
