Does the idea of doing laundry make you want to throw in the towel? Unfortunately that would only contribute to more laundry!
According to the information and statistics website Quora, in a typical year, an average family can do upwards of 250 loads of laundry. Even with advancements in laundry technology, it can take more than two hours to wash, dry and fold a single load of clothing. For active men and women and those with large families, laundry piles may seem ever-present.
Rather than gathering up all of the clothing and linens and heading to the nearest laundromat, homeowners can bring the laundromat to their homes. Investing in commercial laundry equipment might be the best way for homeowners to solve their laundry woes.
A few distinct differences set residential and commercial washers and dryers apart. Residential equipment tends to be small and can easily fit into homes and handle the demands of family laundry. Commercial machines, however, are designed for large loads. This includes bulky comforters or throw rugs. Individuals who are doing many loads per day may find that commercial washers are more practical, as they are designed to stand up to the demands of daily use. Furthermore, commercial machines tend to wash and dry heavy items more thoroughly and more quickly than residential machines.
Because commercial equipment can handle larger loads than residential machines, the potential for energy savings can make commercial machines worth the extra investment. For example a typical home dryer can take an hour to dry a large load on high heat, while it may take only half that time to dry the same load in a commercial dryer.
Another factor to consider is that commercial washers and dryers are designed to be serviced rather than replaced. Even though the initial cost of commercial machines may be higher than residential units, homeowners may break even or even save money if they don't need to replace the machine as early as they might with a residential unit.
Although there are many benefits to upgrading to commercial laundry equipment, B&C Technologies, an industry leader in commercial and industrial laundry equipment, advises homeowners to consider various factors before making their decision. Homes may need to be outfitted to accommodate commercial units. This includes larger water lines for adequate water supply, larger drains, upgraded electrical power and a natural gas supply for the dryer. A new exhaust vent may need to be installed to accommodate the greater amount of expelled air. Naturally, the space needed to house commercial units also merits consideration.
