Inefficient Appliances
To save energy it is important to know which appliances to use. Dryers, Dishwashers, and heaters are all very inefficient appliances. Dryers are the most energy-consuming appliance. Dishwashers are the second most energy inefficient and heaters are the third.
How they can be more energy efficient
You can be more energy efficient by minimizing the use of appliances, especially heaters, dryers and dishwashers. If you use one of these appliances try and find one that has a high-energy efficiency rating (see next paragraph.) Dryers and dishwashers are completely unnecessary in daily life so they don’t have to be used at all. Instead of using a dryer you can hang up the washing and instead of using a dishwasher you can wash the dishes by hand in the sink. Heater use can be kept at a minimum if you have insulated roofs or insulated curtains or windows.

How to determine an appliance’s efficiency rating
To determine if an appliance such as a washing machine or fridge is energy efficient inspect the efficiency rating. There are 6 stars and the more stars that are highlighted/shaded the more energy efficient the appliance is. It is also possible to get appliances that are super efficient but these cost high amounts of money.
