Household appliances are the biggest electricity-guzzlers in most people's homes, with studies indicating that up to 30% of an average electricity bill is generated in the kitchen.
Lots of families have ditched their oven in favour of an air fryer and given their tumble dryer the cold shoulder to save money, but according to appliance manufacturer AEG, we could still do better when it comes to getting the most out of our appliances and saving the pennies.
AEG's study found that 73% of families have become more conscious about wasting energy due to escalating expenses, while 93% are now making a deliberate attempt to reduce their energy bills. AEG surveyed 2,000 households to learn about their energy-saving habits and knowledge, and have highlighted four ways families could do better when it comes to wasting energy.
