I recently installed an Emporia Vue with monitoring for the individual circuit my water heater is on. It captured the very significant difference in energy usage from replacing resistive heat with heat pump.

Replaced my electric dryer with a now broken electric dryer. Turns out we didn't even need one, we've been air drying our clothes and it's fine, big savings there.

You can get a heat pump washer/dryer which are very efficient and you don't need to worry about putting clothes in the dryer.

It's much better for your clothes too, especially anything that stretches. I hang dry most of my clothes, then throw shirts in the dryer with a wet rag for 15 minutes to remove wrinkles.
