    My air to water heater operates at 4.3:1 efficiency and heats to 60°. It stores it and loses 1° a day. The dishwasher would need to heat the water just 10° more given the tank is in daily usage.

    Otherwise the dishwasher would have to do it on in a faster timeframe. This is why electric power showers are more expensive to run than mains showers, they have to heat quicker which takes more energy.
