Energy use of household appliances 'shocks' mum after recording costs
23.11.2022 - 18:57 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A woman has shared the running cost for some of her most used household appliances, claiming that people may find the results "shocking".
To keep track of her energy usage, TikTok user @nwpropertymum had a smart meter installed. The devices can be useful for helping people cut down on their spends as it shows exactly how much energy is being used and how much it's costing.
In one of her most recent videos, she was on a mission to find out exactly how much it cost to run some common household appliances such as a toaster and microwave.
She said one appliance in particular would shock people at how much it was revealed to have cost while being used.
In the video, which has been viewed over 60,000 times, she starts off by popping a couple of crumpets in the toaster and switching it on. She then showed her smart meter which displayed a figure of 37p per hour.
Moving on to the microwave, this was shown to cost 18p per hour - working out as the cheapest appliance of them all. The woman's toastie machine came in at 29p per hour to use.
But by far the most expensive appliance out of the four was the kettle. As the woman switched it on to boil, her smart meter showed she was using £1 per hour of electricity to do so.
People in the comments were thankful to the woman for finding out the running costs, but many were taken aback at just how pricey the kettle was.
One said: "So heating your coffee up in the microwave the way forward!! Electricity's going up again so might just stick with orange juice!! Crazy times!"
Some suggested ways to tackle the cost so that you're not boiling the kettle too frequently, with one saying: "Get yourself a thermos and fill it with your hot drink of choice then not boiling kettle".
