Refrigeration and energy efficiency
At Brian Dryden of Wimborne they get many customers how are replacing their old fridge or freezer use the words, "the old one has lasted ages, isn't that good?" Frankly, no it isn't good.
For a start, the old product was built using a less efficient insulation so the running costs will be much higher. The older the fridge gets, the more it costs to run. Also a freezer that ices up will cost more over a year than a frost free appliance. Fridges tend to be a forgotten cost. They are on all day every day, and therefore always using electricity. In these days of rising energy costs, it makes sense to buy a more efficient new appliance.

Dishwashing ideas
Do you have a dishwasher? The UK has the lowest percentage of dishwashers per household. This seems like a strange statistic when you consider that a dishwasher uses less water and gives a better result than doing it by hand.
The amount of water used by a dishwasher is roughly one third of the amount if you washed the same dishes by hand. An efficient dishwasher can use as little as 7 litres of water for a full load, compared to 24 litres for the same load in the sink. With auto-sensing programmes to get the best results the idea is to make your life easier. Less water means less electricity to heat it.
Your tea-towel is a haven of bacteria and germs, whereas a dishwasher dries using hot air. Because of this the dishes come out cleaner than most hand washes. Some models even have an extra drying setting for baby bottles and plastics.
There are many Dishwashers to choose from at Brian Dryden of Wimborne, from Bosch, Siemens, Blomberg and more.
Energy efficient Washing Machines.
Have you thought about the cost of running your washing machine? We all love keeping appliances until they wear out to show how good they are. The downside is the increased running costs as they get older. A top of the range modern washing machine can dramatically reduce running costs over a ten year old equivalent. If the old machine is over 15 years old the savings are even bigger. New machines work out how much water they need based on the materials you are washing. Because they use less water more efficiently than older machines, they can reduce your water bill. Less water needs less detergent and less energy to heat, giving more savings on detergent and electricity.
