How much do you save with Free Drying?

The dryer is one of the biggest energy consumers in the home. The Dutch use it 2.5 times per week on average. That's about 130 dyer cycles per year. So how much do you save with Free Drying? In this article, we'll explain what drying usually costs and how much you can save with Free Drying from Coolblue Energy.

How much energy does your dryer consume?

How much energy your dryer consumes, depends on the energy label. A dryer with an A energy label is more energy-efficient than a dryer with an E energy label. The latter uses more than 2 times as much energy per cycle. So there's a lot to save on.
