How Much Money Can I Save By Using a Retractable Clothesline?
Let’s actually calculate your energy savings if you choose not to use an electric clothes dryer.
Electricity on average costs $0.15 USD / kW hour in most metropolitan areas in the US.
An electric clothes dryer is rated 4000 Watts when in use on average.
A good assumption for the duration of a dry cycle is one hour.
A normal household will perform about 4 loads per week.
$0.15 kW Hours * 4000 Watts/hour * 1 kW / 1000 Watts * 4 loads/week * 52 weeks/year = $124.80/year
So, by drying your clothes using a clothesline or drying rack, you can save almost $125/year and even more if your electricity cost or usage is higher!
