With the way that energy bills are at the moment, Brits simply cannot win. Whether it's cranking up the central heating system over the winter months, or dusting off fans and air conditioning units over the summer - you're more than likely going to see your bills rise somewhat.
And analysts say that the recent swathe of scorching summer sun we've had could add as much as £380 to your energy bills. Experts from Loop - an energy-saving smart meter app - have broken down exactly how much popular summer items cost to run, from hot tubs to garden heaters.
If you're lucky enough to have an A/C until to help cool you down, it may well set you back up to £70 more than your traditional desktop or standing fan. In comparison, a family of four each using a 35W fan at night could add around £3 per month to their electric bill.
