  The most expensive household item in my house that uses the most energy is my oven & hob. It is run only on electricity and i generally use it once a day. Typically a fridge freezer or a tumble dryer would also use the most energy. I don’t have a tumble dryer or a big fridge freezer in my house.

  I would say electric showers, kettles and immersion heaters. Anything that boils a lot of water absorbs lots of energy.

Ok- we may cut down on the baking and cooking so…. very interesting! I thought it might have been the TV as dad is always shouting at us to turn it off as its eating electricity!!!
