Starting 1st July, prepare for a 13% hike in your energy bills if you’re using gas and electricity and paying by Direct Debit. But worry not – here’s an easy, often overlooked trick to save money and energy! 🌍💷
Turns out, household gadgets left on standby are stealthily sucking up power and cash. The Energy Saving Trust reveals that appliances like washing machines, dishwashers, and tumble dryers can account for about 14% of a typical energy bill, while fridges and freezers are responsible for around 13%. And guess what – you could save roughly £80 a year! 🏠💪
Research shows devices like set-top boxes, when left on standby for 20 hours a day, can add about £33.59 to your annual energy bill. TVs, laptops, and even coffee machines in standby mode aren’t far behind in ramping up costs, contributing approximately another £9.49 to £7.59. 📺💻📠
Nathan Blackler from Go.Compare advises: “Switching off devices at the wall when not in use is a small habit that packs a big punch for both your wallet and the planet.” 🌱💸
