Using the washing machine at the cheapest time of day is an easy way to cut down bills
There are some simple ways you can save money on energy bills and one of them involves adjusting the time of day you put on your washing machine.
Les Roberts at Bionic spoke to The Express, he said: “One way to cut down on costs when using a washing machine is to check the efficiency of your device. The energy rating should be printed on the energy label of your washing machine device and will be ranked from G-A with A being the most efficient model.
The cost-effectiveness of using your machine at specific times of day does however depend on your tariff. According to Les, this applies if you’re on a time-of-use or off-peak tariff. David explained the significance of wash temperature on power consumption, he said: “The temperature you choose to wash your clothes at has an impact on your energy usage. If you choose to wash at 20 degrees or lower, you can minimise the amount of energy your washing machine consumes.”
For items with light soiling, Ariel suggests opting for a cooler wash. David also highlighted another common mistake: “Overdosing with detergent can also affect your washing machine's energy efficiency.”
