Martin Lewis has outlined the best time to use your washing machine after the National Grid warned of blackouts. The finance guru has delivered his verdict after Brits were told they could face three-hour planned blackouts in the event of a gas shortage this winter.
Posing the question "when's best to use high energy appliances such as tumble dryers?", The MoneySavingExpert took to Twitter to share his advice, The Mirror reports. He explained how some households might have time-of-use tariffs, which would make washing and drying clothes cheaper at night – after 9pm.
Those who are not on this arrangement need not go to the effort and do their laundry whenever they please, with no price difference. "Most don't have time-of-use tariffs so there's no price difference," Mr Lewis said.
