Running just one fan through the night during hot weather could add almost £3 a month to your bill - meaning four fans for a typical family would add £12 a month to your energy costs.
With many people starting to turn to cooling devices during the hot weather, research from home energy-saving app Loop has revealed the worst culprits for adding to energy bills during hotter weather. Loop says some households could be forking out as much as £270 per month on keeping cool.
This is compared to £194 before the price cap was raised in April this year. For those households lucky enough to own an inflatable swimming pool, this could add another £137 for a small 2kw heater. Comparing a number of popular appliances used to keep cool – including air conditioning units, fans and extra fridges - Loop has calculated they could add £9 a day to a household’s energy bills. This cost rises to over £13 per day for homes with a swimming pool that uses a pool heater.
