It is safe to say that the 21st century has experienced some remarkable technological advances. Even the laundry department has not been forgotten. The commercial washer and dryer that can wash and dry in one convenient unit is indeed a laundry dream. Washers and dryers, like other technological devices, are always being updated and made better. Since their initial commercial release, these ground-breaking machines have undergone extensive development. Over the past decade, washers have become more energy efficient while drier technology has remained relatively the same. With all of its benefits, a washer-dryer combo is a good choice for many reasons. Similar to front-loading machines, these use less water and energy while still getting the job done. What’s more, energy efficiency allows you to reduce resource use and lower utility bills.
Below, we discuss how these machines work and what makes them energy efficient.
How Do Washer/Dryer Combo Machines Work?
The washing and drying are done in the same drum of the washer/dryer combination machine. However, some models have two drums for the two processes, but all are in one machine. This drum, which is made of stainless steel, has an opening that allows you to load and unload your clothes. Once you load your clothes, add detergent, and choose the right wash cycle. Water then fills the drum and cleans the clothes. Once done, the water is drained out and the clothes are spun to remove excess water, prompting the drying process to begin. The machines will use the selected methods for drying. If you offer wash and fold services, you can also add a commercial ironing machine as a service. And when used alongside the washer combo, it will make ironing faster and easier.
What Makes These Machines Energy Efficient?
Some of the aspects that make the washer/dryer combination efficient are:
Customizable features
Energy-efficient washer/dryer combination machines have features that allow you to customize each cycle. With such features, you can create a profile with a specific load type, wash time, and temperature. Once you load up the drum, you select the profile and the wash and dry cycle will be done as the settings.
Energy star certification
Energy-efficient machines now come with an energy star certification to help you identify them. This certification shows that the machines meet the standard for efficiency. This means that they use less water, and electricity which reduces the environmental impact and cost of doing business.
Automatic sensing
Some machines come with automatic sensors. These automatically adjust the water and energy to be used in a cycle based on the size of the load. As such, if you have a small load, the machines will use less water and energy for the load and vice versa. This ensures no energy is wasted.
A washer/dryer combination is a machine that combines the wash and dry processes. This means they use less water, time, and electricity to wash and dry your clothes. They’re designed with customizable features and automatic sensing that adjust energy use based on the load. Overall, the washer/dryer combination helps you to reduce your energy consumption and environmental impact.
