Energy experts have issued a warning over a “phantom load” power drain that could add £1,253 to your bills come October.
The data science team at Loop, a smart meter energy app, describes a “phantom load” as appliances that are left on all the time, either intentionally or accidentally.
This includes computers, media servers and set-top boxes, plus easy-to-forget things like underfloor heating, heated towel rails and extra drinks fridges.
