Soaring energy bills are a pressing concern to many as people look for any way they can cut their use to save cash.
Because of this, households are wondering how much their electrical home appliances cost to run and are even swapping their use for cheaper alternatives. With the energy price cap increase in full force, it can be tough to know the updated costs for each device.
Luckily, the energy experts at Hometree have crunched the numbers and revealed the costs of running your home appliances by looking at which ones use the most energy.
From the dishwasher to the fridge and the oven, every appliance uses power in different measures, some far more than others.
The specialists have listed the ones that suck the most power and have also listed some suggested some more energy efficient alternatives.
The majority usage on your energy bills will come from the wet household appliances, such as dishwashers and washing machines.
The average dishwasher cycle lasts around an hour and a half, but some lower quality ones can run from two to four hours. Running a dishwasher is one of the most expensive household appliances, using around 3.3 kWh of energy.
It's possible to estimate how much energy each appliance uses by multiplying its power rating in kW by the number of minutes/hours it’s left on. Wattage information should be on the label or in any manual that comes with your appliance.
For example, a dishwasher may have a power rating of 2200W (there are 1000W in a kW). If you run it for 90 minutes it uses 3.3 kWh, costing around £1.12 for a 90 minute cycle. Here are the workings of the equation: 2.2 x 90/60 = 3.3kWh.
There are options for saving on your energy bills, such as making sure to only run the dishwasher when fully loaded,
