Energy Savings Tips for Dishwashers
Energy Savings Tips
Check the manual that came with your dishwasher for the manufacturer recommendation on water temperature. It may have an internal heating element that allows you to set the water heater in your home to a lower temperature.
Run your dishwasher with a full load, but not overloaded.
In the summer, use your dishwasher during the cooler parts of the day.
Avoid using the "rinse hold" on your machine for just a few soiled dishes. It uses 3 - 7 gallons of hot water.
Consider purchasing an ENERGY STAR Dishwasher. It uses less water and 41 percent less energy.
