Any ways I can save the energy bill?

How much did you save off your electric and water bill with a high energy efficient washing machine?

• Another question, about energy efficient front loader washing machines, please. Roughly, would you say that you (people who own a washer like this), saw an immediate cost reduction in your power bill and water bill, like maybe 15% or 20% a month? This particular model spins the clothes so that they are nearly totally dried once they are washed, so I will not have to use the clothes dryer so often. If that is true, I'm hoping for maybe a 15%-20% visible, noticeable reduction in my power bill for the dryer and less water for the washer may mean a similar drop in the usage and cost of my water bill. Are my assumptions and expectations reasonable? Thanks.

• Answer:

  I cant really tell you because I just got HE machines but I had never had any before. The people at the water place told us we would save at least 2000 gallons of water a year. I washed a lot of clothes when I first got it and my bill was like 8.00 more. Yes the clothes come out pretty dry, of course it depends on each person on where you live and how much you use them.
