Hint: It's actually not the tumble dryer

We’re all more conscious of the daily appliances we’re using and how to cut back costs amid this energy crisis and rising cost of living.

Furthermore, the gas and electricity provider is sharing its top ten tips to cutting back energy costs.When you open your oven door, around 20% of heat is lost which results in your oven having to work to reheat it, which is why experts advise looking through the glass door to check on food as opposed to continually opening the oven door. Using your oven for two hours can cost you €1.14, meaning if you avoid pre-heating the oven unless necessary you can actually save money in the long run.

Meanwhile, using an airfryer for an hour costs 55c whereas using an oven for an hour is 57c. However, using an air fryer for 15 minutes uses over 40% less energy than 1 hour of oven use. This is because air fryers' smaller size tend to maximise airflow and heat your food even quicker than an oven.Efficient settings on your washing machine can help you reduce energy consumption.
