The wash cycle should use substantially less electricity than a traditional (non-high efficiency washer). For drying we had a traditional electric dryer and this uses substantially less electricity. Compared to a gas dryer I would guess this uses more electricity for the heat pump, but overall less energy if one converts gas BTUs to kWhs.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello- We appreciate your interest in our UltraFast Combo. Our UltraFast Combo uses an estimated 136 kWh in yearly electricity use. If you use an electric water heater, the estimated annual energy cost for the washer is $19. (Your cost may vary based on usage and utility rates). We base that estimated energy cost on six wash loads a week and the national average for electricity costs. And actually, our Combo has such revolutionary technology that the Department of Energy doesn’t yet have a way to effectively evaluate an all-in-one wash and dry. We can say that for the dryer, it’s 50% more energy efficient compared to the standard Energy Star qualifications for an electric dryer. We hope this helps you make your decision. Thank you!
