As the weather heats up, many of us have been reaching for appliances to keep us cool. But fans, air-conditioning units and garden heaters could be costing some households £328 a month!
And for those lucky enough to own an inflatable swimming pool, a small 2kw pool heater could be adding an extra £166 every month!
A family of four would add £14 per month to their bills if they each use a 40w fan overnight. On a hot night that's probably money well spent though! However, those opting for the extra cooling power of AC units in each room could be spending a shocking 52 times more in comparison!
With the high cost of living, understanding the true running costs of your appliances is more important than ever. So here are some simple ways for you to take back control of your summer energy costs, whilst still keeping your home cool and comfortable during the heatwave.
