It's a well-known fact that generally the older the appliance, the more expensive it is to run. With energy prices set to go through the roof, it pays to look at how much energy individual appliances around the home are consuming.
The Daily Express reports David Miles, 46, from Essex decided to do just that, and bought a basic smart plug to track how much energy each appliance in his home uses. He plugged it into the socket for each appliance, then monitored energy performance via an app on his phone.
He was in for a shock when he used the plug on his 25-year-old American-style fridge freezer. “Incredibly, it ate up a fifth of my entire electricity bill," he said.
