How much energy do you save with a new washer dryer combination?
You may use an older washer dryer combination that still works. If so, it's still a good idea to replace it with a newer washer dryer combination. That's because the newer washer dryer combinations are more energy efficient. Compared to an old model, you can save about € 206 on your annual energy costs. We'll tell you what the advantages of a new washer dryer combination are here.
Save with a new washer dryer combination
The disadvantage of an old washer dryer combination is that it consumes a lot of energy. An old washer dryer combination consumes up to 2 times more energy than a new one. The old washer dryer combinations often have A or B energy labels, which are old energy labels. Nowadays, washer dryer combinations have new energy labels that indicate the consumption more accurately. A washer dryer combination with the new C energy label is the most energy-efficient.

Save energy costs
In the 2 tables above, you can see how much old and new washer dryer combinations consume on average. You can see that an old washer dryer combination with a B energy label costs about € 1.77 per wash and dryer cycle. That's over € 350 in energy costs based on 200 cycles per year. A new model with the new C energy label costs € 0.75 per cycle. This way, you save up to € 206 energy costs. You can use that for a nice weekend trip.
