Save energy in the kitchen

1.Freezer

The freezer is guilty of using the most energy out of all Kitchen appliances. In use 24/7 it can cost on average £280 to run a year.

A good way of cutting costs is to make sure the freezer is kept as full as possible. Even if it is just filled with bags of ice, keeping them cold will use less energy and trying to keep air cold.
