The average dishwasher costs 18 cents per hour. Running your dishwasher only when it is full will help you save energy. Some people try to save money by handwashing dishes instead, but it’s hard to estimate whether this is more efficient or not. And, most important for many, using a dishwasher is certainly less time-consuming.
Household appliances are becoming more efficient all the time, so look for the most efficient model when it’s time to replace your refrigerator, dishwasher, laundry pair or other appliance. Replacing an old appliance, even if it’s still working, may make economic sense if the energy savings are there.
