Electric Dryers And Energy Consumption

The production of clothes dryers has flourished a lot lately, but the introduction of electric clothes dryer has improved it even more. When the electric clothes dryer first appeared it was mostly applied in Europe and after some time people in North America began using it, too. Regarding its great features, this model of clothes dryer has become a universal electrical device in many homes. But, you have to know how to handle it, if you want to spend less energy. Here are some tips to follow, which will be of great help for you.

It will be necessary to clean the filters every time your clothes dryer finished working. Too much lint in the vents may make drying the clothes really difficult, and sometimes it will take you twice as long to have your clothes dry than usually.

Most of the modern models of clothes dryer are equipped with an Auto Cycle mode. Generally, this compensates for the type of material that is in the dryer. This feature will help you a lot to save electricity because you will get an adjusted drying time which ensures that your clothes are dried in the short period of time.

Make sure that the door seal is still intact. If you notice too much lint at the seal it means that the leak has appeared and in that case the door seal should be replaced.

After a while it can happen that the lint filter housing becomes full of old existing lint. It will consequently restrict the airflow, and more energy will be used for drying your clothes. Because of that, you need to remove the filter and use a vacuum cleaner to remove the lint from the filter housing.

If you are planning to replace your washing machine, get a front loader. This implies that you will get a high speed spin and excess moisture will be removed from the clothes than usually. Hence, less time will be needed to dry your clothes.
