Your dryer might be sipping time—but it’s chugging electricity like 65 fridges in disguise.
Every time your dryer flips on, the power grid panics. The spike? Sharp, dirty, and carbon-loaded.
Standby electronics—TVs, routers, even microwave clocks—are bleeding watts while you sleep.
Drying clothes four times a week? That could be adding $150 a year to your bill—quietly.
Your laptop charger and set-top box are low-key villains, sipping juice 24/7 in the shadows.
Most dryers waste heat like it’s free. A heat-pump model could slash energy use by 60%.
Everyone blames the fridge, but it’s your dryer that’s blowing up your carbon footprint.
In peak hours, millions of dryers switch on—and force utilities to burn dirtier, faster fuels.
Line-drying isn’t retro—it’s radical. And it might just be the cleanest thing you can do today.
