Dryer Energy Saver Tips
The energy efficiency of a clothes dryer depends on unobstructed air circulation around your clothes. So keep the lint filter and exhaust hose clean. Best advice: clean the lint filter after each load.
  • Dry full loads, but don’t overload your dryer. Clothes need room to tumble so air can circulate around them.
  • If your dryer has a moisture sensor setting, use it. It will shut off the dryer automatically when clothes are dry.
  • Don’t add wet items to a load that’s already partly dry.
  • Dry heavy and light fabrics separately. This way, all the clothes in the load will be done at once.
  • Don’t leave the dryer on longer than necessary. Often, clothes are already dry, but no one runs down to the basement to shut the dryer off. Overdrying clothes wears down fabric in addition to wasting electricity.
  • Try a clothesline-it’s old-fashioned, but energy free!
