Unless you’ve been living under a (cool and shady) rock, chances are you heard about the insanely hot heatwave that the UK experienced last week. It got up to 37° in some places in the UK, so unsurprisingly, fans and portable air conditioners saw a huge increase in sales and usage – but what does this mean for your bills?
My husband and I both had to work from home all last week, as the train services discouraged us from travelling unless absolutely necessary. While I used a handheld, cordless fan to cool me down, he preferred a desk fan and we both used two full-sized fans overnight, so we’ll definitely be seeing an increased energy bill for June.
