Has anyone done the research to know which way is better?
I'm currently struggling to keep up with all the washing and drying process while everything is drying damp indoors.
So far I've been setting the washing machine to finish washing just before 7am and then air dry them indoors during the day before having to pop them in the dryer to finish off just after mid-night (off peak) - our electrical contract offers cheaper rate at that time. Because of the humidity built up in the day, I need run the dehumidifier (250kw input power) over night for about 7 hours.
First this is pretty exhausting, as I have to wait the clean clothes finish drying before I can put dirty clothes in to run at night. All this happens after mid-night. Not ideal! Secondly, I start to wonder if the dehumidifier costs more to run for such long hours. I guess I may find a vague answer if I do my research online, but just wonder if anyone here knows better.
Last night, I read something says it costs £1 for dehumidify to run for 12 hours. Obviously, it depends on the size and efficiency of the unit.
Would appreciate some insights!
