To help keep bills down and ensure families are using their appliances the right way, here are debunked ten common myths about energy usage
The price of energy will skyrocket again in October, Ofgem has warned. Last week it was announced that the energy price cap will rise to £3,549 per year on October 1, for those who choose to pay via direct debit on a default tariff.
The price cap also sets a maximum rate for the daily standing charge, which is what you pay to have your home connected to the grid. Depending on how you pay, there are different price caps as well. It depends on how energy-efficient your dishwasher is, how full it is and what setting it's on. In terms of washing up, it can cost a lot more if you don't have a bowl to minimise water waste and you don't pre-soak.
The price comparison website even suggests that not overfilling your kettle could save you up to £11 per year in your energy bills. If you turn the thermostat up to 25 degrees to try and heat the room up more quickly, the boiler will still work at full blast and take the same time to get to 20 degrees. It'll then keep working until the room reaches 25 degrees.
According to them, the condensation starts to build within the walls whenever the heating is turned off. This can then conduct heat outside the home, which could mean you lose heat more quickly in the long-run.
