Martin Lewis explains when to use your washing machine and tumble dryer amid energy blackout warning

Martin Lewis has offered new advice which could help you save money on your appliance usage at home. The MoneySavingExpert founder suggested only using high energy gadgets outside of peak hours.

Posting on Twitter, he wrote: “When's best to use high energy appliances eg tumble dryer? Most don't have time-of-use tariffs, so there's no price difference (if you do, night's cheaper). Yet peak use is 4pm-9pm so for UK's energy security not then is better. If uv solar panels use appliances in daylight hrs.”
