Replace your old dishwasher for a new model
Sometimes it can be a lot more efficient to trade in your old dishwasher for a new model. Even if it is not yet due for replacement. An energy-efficient dishwasher uses considerably less water and electricity per wash than the average older dishwasher. Within a few years, you will have earned back the new model through your energy costs.
Energy label
If you want to know whether a dishwasher is energy-efficient, you should look carefully at the information on the energy label. The label indicates how much water and energy is used per wash. This way you can calculate how much a dishwasher costs per wash, quarter or year.
Eco program
Old dishwashers often do not have an eco program and the standard program also consumes significantly more power and water than a more economical model.
Don’t worry, your dirty dishes will be just as clean even with a dishwasher with lower consumption!
An energy-efficient dishwasher
A dishwasher that has a low consumption per spin will be much cheaper at the end of the year than a dishwasher with a high consumption. The purchase price may be a little higher, but you’ll soon have that out of the equation.
Most dishwashers are energy class C, D or E, so it is quite difficult to find an energy efficient model. In most households, the dishwasher, along with the washing machine, consumes the most energy.
Also, with a more economical model, try to fill the machine completely before you turn it on to ensure that you wash as much as possible at a time. That way, a dishwasher will still consume a lot per spin, but you won’t have to turn it on as often.
