Check out our expert answers to questions on energy efficiency and appliances to see which habits you should adopt to help slash those utility bills.

Is it cheaper to keep my old fridge freezer?

New fridge technology has definitely improved energy efficiency, meaning new fridge freezers often cost significantly less to run. You could save £50 a year running a new fridge freezer compared to a similar model that is 10 years older.

Do eco settings on the washing machine save money?

The eco-cycle typically uses about half the water of a 40°cotton cycle and a third of the energy. Using this button could save you more than £70 a year in running costs.

Where is the half load button on my washing machine?

You might not find one if it’s relatively new because the load is now measured using sensors. When the machine is half loaded the energy consumption is automatically decreased, sometimes by as much as 60%, and so is the water consumption.

Which is more efficient – hand washing or a dishwasher?

Dishwashers use on average a quarter of the water need for washing the same number of dirty dishes, glasses and cutlery by hand. And by using the eco-setting you can also save on energy.
