We live in a time where increased environmental consciousness and desire to keep domestic energy costs under control has resulted in the average UK household becoming more spend savvy. When you look at the average cost breakdown of running a house there are certain monthly expenses that will remain as constant and will rarely fluctuate (eg. mortgage payments, broadband). It therefore becomes obvious to try and lower the cost of variable expenses such as electricity, gas and water. With appliances being the biggest consumers of utility spend, many have turned their sights to investing in energy-efficient white goods. As a well-known appliance specialist, Village Domestic Supplies are always on the forefront of new technological developments in the appliance world and offer a range of state of the art energy efficient dishwashers in Sale, Altrincham and the wider Southern Greater Manchester area.

I’m Looking For An Energy Efficient Dishwashers In Sale - How Will They Save Me Money?

If you’ve decided on investing in smarter dishwasher technology as a means of saving money over time then you’ll want to know what is defined as “energy efficient” and how such models function differently. In the UK dishwashers are rated on scale from highly efficient (A+++) to G,  the lowest efficiency rating. If you are looking for dishwashers in Sale at the high end of the scale then most models stocked at our Timperley showroom share these common features:

Smart Dirt Detection - This feature is very similar to the one found in modern washing machines in that intelligent sensors within the dishwasher can detect how dirty the load is and calculate the appropriate level of detergent and hot water needed to clean it. Standard dishwashers would use a set amount of hot water and detergent depending on the program regardless of load size or soilage. This meant that to wash a half load of lightly soiled plates, you would be using the same amount of electricity and water capable of cleaning a heavily soiled full load. With smart energy models the expenditure of energy is optimised towards the state of the load thus cutting down on wastage and saving you money.

Built-In Temperature Detection & Strong Insulation - Most modern energy efficient dishwashers use an additional water temperature booster which takes the already hot mains water and heats it up by another 30° or so. This small boost combined with high-pressure jet arms is very effective on dirt and food-soiled dishes. Although you may think that extra heating goes against the principals of using less energy, the effect it has cleaning the load means that cycle duration can be shorter and less costly. In addition, airtight and well insulated construction (found on many A+++ models) means that this heat is maximised and not wasted. You’ll notice that well insulated dishwashers will also have interiors made of material that is heat reflective such as stainless steel.

Buying Energy Efficient Dishwashers In Sale

Investing in energy efficient dishwashers is definitely a smart move in this day and age and there are some very compelling figures to back up the benefits of doing so. Around 15 years ago a standard dishwasher would use about 2.3 kwh of energy per load which equates to about 70p. On the basis of a household washing an average of two loads a day, this tops a yearly total of around £511. Today’s modern energy efficient models now use as up to as little as 0.7kwh per load which equates to a yearly total of between £70 and £80 annually.
