Millions of Brits are becoming increasingly vigilant on saving money on their energy bills amid predictions that they could soon skyrocket to well over £5,000 annually.
Energy supplier Utilita and supermarket chain Iceland have run a study, revealing a detailed breakdown of how much six common cooking appliances cost for the average UK household. Their research is based on how frequently the average household uses the respective appliance each day.
The study revealed that the most energy-intensive appliance is the electric cooker, potentially running up a cost of £316.54 a year while the humble microwave only costs 8p a day - equating to £30.02 annually. Meanwhile, other common appliances such as the gas cooker costs 33p a day (£120.83 a year), The Mirror reports.
