7 Tips to Save Money with Your Natural Gas Dryer

Putting our utilities on a balanced payment plan has done wonders with our budget. Knowing exactly what our payments are going to be on all our financial accounts make it a breeze to calculate just how much money we are spending each month. Even though we have our budget in full swing and we are chipping away at our debt, we are constantly looking for ways to reduce our spending and costs.

Our utilities are on a fixed payment plan at the moment, but they are based on the average bills over the past concurrent 12 months and re-evaluated each year. So our goal is to strive to find ways to continue to lower our utility bills consistently before the next calculation occurs. One of the best ways to keep your utility bills at their lowest is to keep your electronic and gas appliances in tip top shape and keep them running at peak performance. I am always looking on ways to keep our vehicles and appliances running efficiently. Today were going to start with natural gas dryers. 

Today's natural gas dryers are designed for efficiency. Using new technologies, natural gas dryers offer you improved performance and reduced cost. Our dryer, which you will also find on newer models, uses an electronic moisture sensor that measures the amount of moisture the amount of moisture in the clothes. When the degree of dryness selected is reached, the dryer automatically shuts off. This saves energy and reduces wear and tear on your clothes.

Here Are Seven Dryer Efficiency Tips:

1. Clean the lint filter after each load. Lint buildup reduces air-flow and dryer performance, driving up your energy usage.
2. Clean exhaust duct work, vent and the hood cover (outside the house) periodically.
3. Dry full loads, but do not overload. Clothes need to tumble and air needs to circulate freely.
4. Over-drying wastes energy energy and most fabrics need natural moisture.
5. Read garment and fabric care labels for proper settings. Separate lightweight and heavy clothes for more energy efficient drying.
6. When dryer is in operation, do not open the door unnecessarily.
7. Use no heat cycle to plumb pillows, freshen stored items, and remove lint or dust from drapes and spreads.
