Kettle and toaster

According to Mr Goodman, leaving your kettle and toaster plugged in over a period of seven days can add an extra £14 to your electricity bill.

Mr Goodman explained: “Both the kettle and toaster are not only fire hazards, but are significant energy drains when left plugged in.

“A typical toaster and kettle left plugged in and switched on will still use electricity, even though they are not in active use, both together can increase your energy bill during a seven day holiday by over £14!”
