Basement Washer/Dryer Utilities Issue

[Brandon V.]

Hi BP,

I received a text today from my lower tenant in my duplex with a question about the washer and dryer that I had not thought about.  The washer is currently plugged into an outlet that was previously labeled "Upper Unit" and there are several other outlets labeled this and other that are labeled "Lower Unit".  She is wondering what to do since she only wants to use the washer and dryer that are connected to her billed services.  Would it just be reasonable to ask her to replug the washer and dryer into her "Lower Unit" outlets every time she uses the laundry?  I was thinking about splitting the washer going to the upper and the dryer going to the lower but I heard that the dryer takes up much more electricity than the washer.  Any recommendations?  Thanks.  This is a duplex in West Allis, WI.
