This column is devoted to common ! questions and suggestions we receive 3 from our customers. You are warmly i invited to participate. Questions and c suggestions regarding electricity, your ; electric service, or energy conservation i are welcome. ; Save on dishwashing QDoes an automatic dishwasher . use quite a bit of energy? A Yes. In addition to the electricity '' m required to operate its pump, ' there Is usually a booster hot water heating element. An average dish- washer uses 14 gallons of hot water per load; next to heating and cooling your home, heating your water Is the second largest energy consumer. To : economize, be sura that your dish- 1 washer is full, but not overloaded, J before you turn it on. Scrape your dishes before loading. When rinsing is necessary, use cold water. After the , final dishwashinc rinse, and before the : drying cycle begins, a small amount of electricity mcy be saved if you turn off the dishwasher and open the door, allowing our dishes to air dry. ! (Some people do not like to do this, because it can cause the water to leave spot; on the dishes.) Frost-free vs. conventional QWhlcl Is more economical to operate, a conventional or "froft-free" refrigerator freezer? A A conventional refrigerator freezer requires less electricity I than a frost-free model. A 15 cu. ft. two-door conventional refrigerator freezer requires approximately 1200 kwh per year, as compared to 1800 kwh pei year for a similar frost-free frost-free model. However, a conventional refrigeratorfreezer must be defrosted frequently to operate most economically. Many refrigerators have heating elements in their walls to prevent condensation on the outside. These heaters need to be on only when the air is extremely humid, so you can save energy if the refrigerator you buy has a switch to turn off the heaters.
