The increase in the cost of utilities is only the tip of the iceberg of the energy question. However, the savings on the bill pass from domestic habits.
October has arrived and, with it, the expected blow to the bill will also come. Utilities that rise, in proportion to the increase in the cost of raw materials. And, of course, costs that weigh on the shoulders of taxpayers already severely tested by the pandemic crisis. The rise in bills is just the tip of the iceberg.

Regardless of the fact that the purchase of a high energy class appliance (A + or higher) would allow a significant reduction in consumption, the washing degrees also play their role.
