Save Money by Ditching the Tumble Dryer!

Ditching the tumble dryer can help you save money in several ways. Throughout this blog, we will look at a few benefits.

Firstly, tumble dryers consume a lot of energy and can significantly increase your electricity bill. By using a clothesline or drying rack instead, you can save on your energy costs and reduce your carbon footprint.

Secondly, tumble dryers can also cause wear and tear to your clothes, leading to more frequent replacements. Hanging your clothes to dry can help increase their lifespan and save you money in the long run.

Finally, drying clothes naturally can also be a great way to reduce static and wrinkles, making ironing easier and less time-consuming. So, ditching the tumble dryer can not only save you money but also be better for your clothes and the environment.

The cost of running a tumble dryer in the UK can vary based on factors such as the energy efficiency of the model and the cost of electricity in your area. On average, it can cost around 35 to 50 pence per cycle to run a standard tumble dryer in the UK. If you use the tumble dryer daily, this can rack up an expensive bill!

If you have solar panels installed at your home, you can use the energy generated by the panels to run your appliances during the day, when the sun is shining and energy production is at its peak. This can help you save money on your electricity bills by reducing your reliance on grid electricity and using the free energy provided by the sun.

Additionally, if you generate excess energy, you may be able to sell it back to the grid or store it in a battery for later use. This can further reduce your energy costs and help you become more self-sufficient.
