What percentage of a washing machine's energy is used purely to heat hot water?

Bosch 1 hour quick wash
20oC total 200wh
30oC total 600wh
40oC total 960wh
Probably useless for most but it's handy for us to know and programming for specific Agile slots.0 -
But note that for warm washes most of the energy will be used in at most the first hour. I don't see much of an advantage in doing a quick wash on agile unless the the clothes can't take something longer. I sometimes do a 90C maintenance wash or a 60C cotton wash to clean the machine and I'm happy to let this run into the peak period, if I've aligned the heating with plunge pricing.MP1995 said:Bosch 1 hour quick wash

Your 20C quick wash uses the same energy as a full Eco 40-60 wash.
