All UK households who pay energy bills have been hit with a stark warning as costs could continue to jump up considerably.
Based on previous figures, experts at BOXT have predicted how much the running of common household appliances could cost by 2032, and it makes for some bleak reading.
For example, tumble drying currently costs around £1.80 per load, based on a rate of £0.34 per kWh, but it is predicted that this cost will rise to £4.63 per cycle in just nine years' time.
