If you use your dryer regularly, do these two things to cut down on energy costs. First, clean the lint filter in the dryer after each use; a dirty filter will force the dryer to work harder and is a fire hazard. Second, dry heavier items -- like blankets, towels and jeans -- separately from lighter items that dry quicker; most dryers have a moisture sensor setting that can default if there is even one wet item still inside.
