The cost of living and energy crisis is hitting hard across the country with many struggling to pay their soaring bills, so finding ways to reduce or usage and keep bills down is always welcome.
Energia’s experts calculated how much each of the appliances on the list would use electricity-wise and subsequently what that would look like cost-wise per hour of usage. On the other end of the scale, you need not feel guilty about watching some television as the cost to watch a 42-inch LCD TV is just £0.04.
When you open your oven door, around 20% of heat is lost which results in your oven having to work to reheat it, which is why experts advise looking through the glass door to check on food as opposed to continually opening the oven door. If you put your food in the oven before you turn the oven on, you can help reduce your energy usage. Another helpful tip is to consider using a slow cooker or batch cooking. A slow cooker in use for six hours can cost you just 55c.
