Yes. ENERGY STAR certified clothes dryers incorporate the following advanced features:
- Sensors to Detect When Clothes Are Dry - Saving energy by using automatic termination to help detect when your clothes are dry. This feature also prevents wear and tear on your clothes from over-drying.
- Low Heat Setting - Using lower temperatures than standard clothes dryers, generally.
- Delayed Start - Giving the option of setting the dryer to begin according to your schedule. In some cases, delaying the start of the dryer could save energy costs if your utility offers time of use (TOU) pricing.
- Steam Cycles - Helping save time on ironing clothes by preventing wrinkles.
For even more savings, consider ENERGY STAR certified heat pump dryers - they use around 70% less energy than a conventional clothes dryer. Consumers with high clothes dryer usage and high electricity rates have the potential for large energy and cost savings. All heat pump dryers meet the criteria for ENERGY STAR Most Efficient.
