Your dishwasher can increase your electricity bill if you make any of these mistakes. (Page 2 ) | May 4, 2024

However, if you want to reduce your bill at the end of the month, the first thing you should do is use your appliances correctly, especially the dishwasher. Since the dishwasher consumes a lot of energy, we must avoid making certain mistakes to avoid unpleasant surprises at the end of the month.

The most important thing is to clean the dishwasher regularly. The dirtier it is, the harder it will be to do its job well. This means that the motor has to run at full speed, which in turn requires more energy.

You should also remember to always use it at full charge during the hours of lowest consumption, that is, at night or first thing in the morning. At those times, the cost per kilowatt-hour is reduced by almost half or more.

Also, use eco-friendly detergents with low suds. They clarify faster and save energy.

Only put dishwasher-safe dishes inside your appliance. If you introduce objects that cannot withstand high temperatures, they may break, releasing various residues into the dishwasher that could damage it.

Finally, if you have decided to replace your old machine or buy one to equip your kitchen, choose models with energy class A. These are highly energy efficient and will greatly reduce your electricity bill.
