Appliance Sales questions, answered by experts

Many people think this question relates directly to their electricity bill. Running your dishwasher at night both keeps your bill lower and is better for the environment. Energy rates tend to be much lower during off-peak hours. These hours are usually from 9 at night until around 6 in the morning. Your local utility provider will be able to tell you which hours are considered peak and off-peak. In conclusion, running your dishwasher during these off-peak hours is both better for your wallet and requires less energy from the grid, which is better for the environment.

Generally speaking, you should use the self-clean function about once a year. Because of the high temperatures during the self-clean cycle, using it too often is one of the common mistakes that’ll break your oven.

A local small appliance repair company or technician is your best bet if you’re looking for someone to service a small appliance. Homeowners more often look for major appliance repair specialists, meaning the demand is higher, as is the number of companies that handle the repairs. If you’re looking to repair a toaster, microwave, blender, or other small appliance, you should hire a technician that specializes in small appliances.

The answer is a resounding yes, as dishwashers save significant water and energy compared to washing dishes by hand. The difference is so drastic in fact that those who use energy-efficient dishwashers can expect savings of over $450 per year. This is because dishwashers use less water, they wash at a higher temperature than a hand rinse, and you don’t need to rinse them after washing. New dishwashers use around 4 gallons per load, whereas washing by hand can use up to 2 gallons per minute.

A standard dishwasher size is 24-by-24-by-35-inch for a built-in unit. The depth and height line up perfectly with most kitchen countertops and cabinet sizes.
