Outage Map
The majority of the energy used in clothes washers is from the hot water used in the wash/rinse cycle.- When it's time to replace a clothes washer, upgrade to Energy Star-rated models. New efficient models use 37% less energy than standard models and 50% less water (if you have an electric water heater). Ask your salesperson about possible tax credits.
- Use cold water wash and cold water detergents wherever possible.
- Run full loads whenever possible.
