#13: Serve up savings with your dishwasher!

Dishwasher Cost: Free
Savings: Varies*

Dishwashers use less water than hand washing.
  • Run full dishwasher loads.

  • Use the “energy saver” selection on your dishwasher.

  • Air dry dishes when you can (unless your home has mold or mildew problems).

  • When replacing a dishwasher, look for models with the Energy Star® label.
*Individual experiences may vary, check with PGE or your retailer for more info.
