How much is your dishwasher costing you?
After doing some research, I realized that my dishwasher constitutes over 10% of my monthly electricity bill.
I do about 3 loads of dishes per week. At 7 gallons for a normal cycle, that's 21 gallons of heated water. Considering that I have low flow aerators installed on all my faucets, I can get by with less than 3 gallons by handwashing.
I checked this website to get some idea of the cost of electricity and, after finding some basic data on my washer's specs, determined that it cost $3.41 per month.
