The dryer is an appliance used to dry clothes, after washing, by removing the humidity from the fabrics.
They are widely used, especially in winter when the weather conditions do not allow for quick drying of clothes in the open air. Precisely for this reason their use worries in terms of consumption.
In a socio-economic context like the one we are experiencing, Italians are having to deal with which appliances to continue using and which ones should be set aside for a while. In fact, the increase in electricity prices has repercussions on the bill which, in recent months, has skyrocketed.
The dryer is one of the most energy-intensive appliances and has a huge impact on consumption. So, using it, we would have to deal with the high bills that could come our way. Reason why many will do without it.
We will reveal some small tips that will allow you to use the dryer without it affecting too much your consumption and your pockets.
There are many solutions that allow you to use the dryer in the coming months, without being overwhelmed by bills. In a certain sense, these tips that we will give you will change your life both in terms of bills but also in continuing to use it and having dry clothes, even in the coldest months.
In reality, it will be your behaviors that make this happen. The first thing to do is to use it only in the late evening or on the weekend. In fact, the electricity supply contract provides for time slots. And the most convenient band is precisely the evening – night or the one that falls on weekends and holidays. Then switch on the appliance before going to bed or opt for the start schedule.
And if you are one of the users who have not subscribed to contracts with two-hour or multi-hour bands, don’t worry. There are other tricks that will make you use the dryer to save money. First of all, if you have thought about changing your appliance, you must make sure that the one you are about to buy is energy class A or even higher. Those that fall into these energy classes are more efficient and will have reduced consumption.
Then insert the clothes inside already wrung out so that drying is faster. We recommend spinning the clothes in the washing machine. We know that even the spin cycle of the washing machine should be used sparingly to avoid unnecessary energy expenditure. But a spin cycle with a few revolutions and for a short time allows us to save a lot with the dryer.
Finally, carry out frequent maintenance on the dryer and, above all, pay close attention to the filters which, if dirty, would make it less efficient and increase consumption.
