Bear with this post as it'll probably be quite long!
So it's getting to that time where I'm looking to replace some appliances in the house (washer and television) and I've never took much notice to these energy ratings before, but now I'm in a position where I want to cut down the energy bills as much as possible....
Before I get started I was hoping a few would hopefully shine light on the combi washer/dryer, I have both a washer (INDESIT WIA 101) allegedly graded A on Reevoo and a dryer (AEG Electrolux LAVATHERM) allegedly graded C on Reevoo (Both these appliances weren't graded in shops at the time of purchase, so I'm having to go off google) but only occasionally (if needs be) do I ever use the dryer just in order to cut down costs, and I'm assuming a combi dryer would use less energy than separate washer and dryer.
So considering that the combi I'm looking at (Bosch WVG30461GB) is an A grade, if anyone has gone from a separate washer dryer to a combi just exactly how much money would I be expecting to save cutting out the C grade to an all in one A grade?
Now I did google this stuff and all I got was a very vague answer saying that going from C to A would save you about £10 a year on that appliance, it didn't mention the new A+ rating so I'll just assume that's about £15 a year from C to A+.
However it's not taking into account how much you would save on a washer dryer, I probably use the washer 2-3 times a week varying on the weather (I use it more during the summer than in the winter, but then if it's pissing it down constantly it gets used more than it does in the summer ect...), but again I'm limited to using the washer based on the fact I have to wait for my clothes to dry on a washing horse during seasons like this (like I mentioned I avoid using the dryer).
Personally I feel a washer/dryer would benefit me in the practical sense but if it's going to cost me an extra £5-10+ a month on energy bills then I don't think it's worth it based on how much it would cost me for the appliance alone.
