I've always been a lover of hot drinks, be it coffee, tea, or hot chocolate so the kettle is always on in our house. But it never occurred to me how much money I’m wasting each time I flick the kettle on to boil.
As a household we have become a lot more conscious of the energy we use and like everyone else we've seen our bill double, if not triple. In under a year our EDF monthly direct debit has gone up from around £100 to £250.
Due to the rising bill we’ve cut down where we can on unnecessary appliance usage around the house. Adding up how many mugs of hot drinks my boyfriend and I make, along with the water we boil in our kettle for cooking and cleaning, we spend just under £100 a year. Which sounds like an astronomical amount to me.
