1. Hot Water Connection
Most washing machines heat water using electricity, which accounts for 60–70% of the energy consumed during a cycle. Connecting the machine to a hot water supply from a gas boiler, heat pump, or solar collector can reduce energy consumption by 35–45%.
2. Automatic Detergent Dosing
Manual dosing can result in 25–30% excessive detergent consumption. An automatic dosing system adjusts the amount of detergent according to the laundry weight and level of soiling. This can reduce chemical consumption by approximately 20% while providing more consistent washing results.
3. A+++ Energy Efficiency Class
An A+++ washing machine can use 30–40% less electricity than a class A machine. With 10 cycles per day, the difference may amount to UAH 60–80 per day, or approximately UAH 22,000 per year.
4. Heat Pump Drying
A heat pump dryer can use up to 56% less energy per cycle than a conventional electric dryer. With 10 cycles per day, the savings can reach approximately UAH 117 per day.
5. Optimal Load Capacity
A half-loaded machine consumes almost as much energy as a fully loaded one. Loading the drum to 80–95% of its capacity provides maximum efficiency without damaging the fabrics.
6. Regular Preventive Maintenance
Filters should be cleaned, limescale removed, and electrical connections checked every six months. Regular maintenance reduces the risk of major repairs and equipment downtime.
7. Certified Hygiene Programmes
If the equipment is used in a healthcare facility, restaurant, or SPA, check whether frequent 90°C cycles can be replaced with certified hygiene programmes operating at 60°C. Energy savings may reach up to 40%.
Estimated Total Savings
A 30-room hotel running 10 cycles per day may save approximately UAH 13,500 per month, or UAH 162,000 per year, after implementing all the listed measures. The estimated payback period for switching to myPro is 11–14 months.
