Ten common household devices racking up your energy bill by up to €170 per month - full list

Many Irish households are struggling with the cost of living crisis, with the price of almost everything seemingly on the rise.

Energy costs are among the bills that have skyrocketed in recent months, with many people concerned about the upcoming winter months.

Those looking to cut costs where possible will be keen to know how their energy bill breaks down and which appliances are costing more to run than others.

Energy experts at Boiler Central have worked out the top ten energy-guzzling appliances in the home and how expensive they are to run, The Sun reports.

While one comes in at a whopping €92 per month, others can cost just a few cents to run.

When the costs of running all 10 per month are totalled, it comes in at over €170.

Their analysis is in pounds and has been converted to euros for this article.

Boiler - €92

Unsurprisingly, boilers cost the most to power, costing around £78 (€92) a month on average.

Mirror UK recently reported that lowering the temperature on your boiler can cut yearly energy bills by £67.20 (€80) for every 10C cut - with one homeowner saving £151.20 (€180).

Washing machine - €17

Boiler Central said a four-person family household pays £14 (€16.59) a month to run their washing machine - £168 (€200) a year.

Fridge freezer - €15

If you have a power-hungry D-rated fridge freezer you might be paying £13 (€15.41) a month in energy bills.

Even people with the most energy efficient A-rated devices would need to pay £7 (€8.30) a month.

Dishwasher - €12

The humble dishwasher costs households £10.30 (€12.21) a month to use, the experts say.

While hand-washing dishes means lower energy costs, it does mean higher water bills.

Kettle - €11

Using your kettle for 15 minutes a day adds up to a bill of £9.60 (€11.38) a month.

Oven - €11

Ovens cost £9.36 (€11.09) a month if used every day.

Television - €4

Television energy costs are around £3.45 (€4.09) a month.

Laptop - €2

Laptops are not as energy-hungry as many believe, but still make the top ten list of most expensive devices to run at £1.56 (€1.85) per month.

Unplugging your laptop when you are not using it will save you 13p (15 cent) a day, or £4.87 (€5.71) a year.

Microwave - €2

Microwaves cost £1.60 (€1.90) a month if used for 10 minutes each day.

However, they also drain power when plugged in and on standby - up to £16 (€19) a year, in fact.

Mobile phone - 50 cent

Mobile phones cost roughly 44p (52 cent) every month to charge up.

Unplugging phone chargers when you're not using them can mean savings of up to £2 (€2.30) a year.

Work out how much your devices cost you

You can work out how much devices cost you to run - with some easy maths.

Firstly, find out the power use of your devices in kilowatts.

Then, multiply that by the price of one kilowatt hour, of kWh - this will vary depending on your energy deal.
