This week, a 100-year-old woman who lives by herself in Ireland was left “flabbergasted” after she received an electricity bill for almost €1,000.
With electricity prices going through the roof amid the cost of living crisis, many Irish households are looking at ways to keep their finances in line. And people have been advised they could be able to save hundreds on their electricity bill by replacing just one household appliance: the fridge.
As your electrical appliances get older, they lose their efficiency and start consuming a lot more energy. Stephen Hankinson, Managing Director at Electric Radiators Direct told Ideal Home that running an "outdated" fridge could cost you up to 1,000 kWh per year.
