Priced to Save You Plenty FINANCING AVAILABLE tanka one set at HO degrees for washing dishes and clothes and the other set at 110 degrees for tub baths and showers. Save energy by reducing the distance the hot water must be piped. Locate each tank near the place where the hot water will be used. Whether your home is new or several years old, insulated hot water pipes will further cut heat losses. Cut the amount of hot water used for dishwashing, laundering and bathing. The key to energy-saving dish washing is to always wash a full load whether washing by machine or in the sink. When using a dishwasher, consider skipping the dry cycle. Use the no-dry buttom or manually turn the dish washer off after the final rinse and let dishes air dry. But do use the heat cycle to sanitize dishes if there is an illness in the family. When machine laundering, always wash a full load. If the machine has a mini-cycle use it for washing smaller loads. Use cold water rinses unless you need to sanitize the clothes because of illness. Even then, consider substituting a chlorine bleach or other disinfectant to sanitize the laundry. Changing the family’s bathing habits can also save hot water. You will spend sßower instead of a dime for an extended shower or tub bath. And be sure to fix those leaky faucets.
