A consumer watchdog has revealed how much more it costs to run common household appliances compared to the beginning of the cost of living crisis.
New research from Which? has found that appliances cost much more to use compared to October 2021. Rounding up all of the appliances - a washing machine, tumble dryer, oven, dishwasher, fridge and TV - sees average annual costs rising from £283 to £447.
The overall increase of £164 is based on a consumer using a 'medium' amount of energy on a standard variable tariff.
