A man who installed an electricity usage meter to help him lower his energy bill has shared the two appliances in particular that were adding to his costs - despite being on standby.
The meter plugs into any wall and measures how much power - and therefore, money - any device in the home is using, even if it is on standby mode.
Yorkshire Live reports how the energy-saver discovered his microwave costs an estimated £16 a year just to display the clock - soon to be £27 when the October price cap comes into force.
