Would you like to save over $100 a year for a cost of around $10?
Tumble dryers are the most energy hungry of all our domestic appliances. The average power consumption for a single run is around 3.5 kWh. Use yours for 4 or 5 loads a week and your electricity bill will cost you an extra $100 a year even if you are getting cheap energy.
If we use the industry standard of 0.53 kg CO2 emitted per kWh, this means we are contributing almost 500 kg in CO2 emissions.
The solution? A humble clothes line. String it between two poles, a five minute job. Hang out your clothes.
Free solar drying.
What could be simpler?
