A single electrical appliance was costing one family hundreds of pounds a year - and made up a fifth of their energy bills.
David Miles, 46, made the shocking discovery when he bought a basic smart plug online to assess which items in his home were using up the most electricity. As energy bills rise across the UK, many people are looking at the most costly appliances to run in their homes.
But the dad got a shock when he used the plug on his 25-year old American-style fridge freezer, the Express reports. “Incredibly, it ate up a fifth of my entire electricity bill. It's the same as my friend's hot tub", David said.
