The average costs of running household appliances will surge, so one consumer group has offered some practical advice to get people through.
With the cost of running household appliance set to rocket this winter, consumer watchdog Which? has come up with a list of ways to head off the price hikes.
The energy price cap is due to rise 80% in October, after the regulator, Ofgem, said the average household's yearly bill can be raised from £1,971 to £3,549.Average integrated fridge freezers currently cost around £73 a year to run, and this will rise to £136 in October. However, American models cost between £84 and £120 to run, which will increase to £155 and £222 a year.
To ensure your fridge freezer is running as efficiently as possible, Which? suggests cleaning the condenser coils on the back, as dust on them can prevent the fridge from cooling properly. If you have damaged door seals, it is important to replace them, so cold air cannot escape, and ensure food is cooled down properly before refrigerating.
