Replace Your Clothes Dryer With A Heat-Pump Clothes Dryer
A heat pump dryer uses less electricity (about 40%- 50% less) and doesn’t vent your conditioned air to the outside. Heat pump dryers may be slightly costlier upfront, but you will save money on each load you do. You could save anywhere from 20 to 38 cents a load. In turn, you are helping the environment as you are using less electricity.
When you are in the middle of winter or the heat of summer, then you should be grateful that you can heat and cool your home. Not everyone is so lucky. However, when the weather is a little milder and it is only slightly uncomfortable, then you should look for ways to limit the heating and air conditioning in your home.
The best way to do a home energy audit is to hire a professional. However, if you would like to save a little bit of money you can do it yourself. You will need to check your ventilation, check for air leaks, check insulation, and more. It may take some time, but it can save you money over time.
