The cost of running a washing machine can be affected by several factors, including the frequency of use, the type and efficiency of the machine, the cost of electricity in the area, and any additional features or settings that may increase energy consumption.
Mrs Keely can reduce the cost of running her washing machine by using it less frequently, choosing a more energy-efficient machine, using cold water when possible, and avoiding using additional features that may consume more energy.
The average cost of running a washing machine per year can vary depending on the factors mentioned above. However, a study by Energy Star found that the average cost for running a washing machine is around $14 per year.
To calculate the cost of running your washing machine per year, you can start by determining the cost of electricity per kWh in your area. Then, estimate the average amount of energy your machine uses per load and multiply it by the number of loads per week. Finally, multiply this number by 52 (weeks in a year) and then by the cost per kWh to get an estimate of the annual cost.
In addition to the tips mentioned above, other ways to reduce the cost of running a washing machine include using a shorter wash cycle, avoiding overloading the machine, and regularly cleaning and maintaining the machine to ensure it is running efficiently.
