Householders across Ireland are doing all they can to minimise their energy bills as many providers confirming they are hiking their prices this winter.
One clever dad from Essex in the UK has managed to save the equivalent of €722 on his annual energy bill with the help of a smart plug. David Miles, 46, calculated which appliances were guzzling electricity in order to cap his spending as prices continue to rise - and his results were surprising.
The father-of-two went around his house, plugging a smart adapter into the socket for each appliance to keep track their energy performances via an app on his phone. He said: “It tells me how much power each appliance is consuming at any given time and its average daily consumption."
