The cost of keeping cool this summer could add £270 a month to energy bills. Analysis found the cost is £76 more than before the April price cap rise.
Loop energy saving app calculated the potential cost of cooling devices such as extra drinks fridges, fans and AC units. They said the cost could amount to £9 a day and £13 a day with a small pool heater for an inflatable swimming pool.
They say air conditioning units cost 33 times more than a 65w cooling device and 51 times more than a simple 40w fan to run. Meanwhile keeping beer and wine cool in an extra fridge can add nearly £25 to bills over the three months of summer.
