Woman saves £400 on her energy bill by turning off common household appliance

A woman claims she has saved almost £400 on her energy bill by turning off a common 'guzzling' household appliance. Harriet Morphy-Morris says she is now in credit with her energy supplier after turning off her immersion heater.

The Manchester Evening News reporter says she is a new renter and has desperately been searching for hacks to save money. She and her partner had even gone as far as turning appliances off at the wall when not in use, doing washing during off-peak hours and turning the thermostat down.

However, she insists it was all to no avail as her direct debit payments only continued to increase from her energy supplier. Harriet says that she is on a standard variable tariff with EDF and pays via direct debit.
