Energy Saving Tips
No Cost / Low Cost
- Avoid using the heat-dry, rinse-hold and pre-rinse features. Instead use your dishwasher's air-dry option
- Operate your dishwasher with a full load only and use the energy-saving cycle
- Avoid rinsing dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. Just scrape food and empty liquids
- Check and clean drains and filters regularly to ensure efficient operation
Save Even More
- Shopping for a new dishwasher? Choose an ENERGY STAR® qualified dishwasher. ENERGY STAR® qualified dishwashers use at least 40 percent less energy than other models. They also use much less water. Saving water helps protect the NWT's water supplies
- Wash dishes by hand, but don't keep the water running to rinse -- fill a sink with clean water instead
