The thrifty tip could save you hundreds of pounds on your energy bills - and all it takes is 10 minutes
With the summer holidays in full swing and the kids at home, energy bills could see a significant increase despite the warmer weather.
But to ensure that your freezer operates at peak capacity while remaining as efficient as possible, it's crucial to keep it well-maintained. Regularly defrosting your freezer not only guarantees your frozen foods stay in top condition but also helps you make substantial savings on energy costs, reports the Mirror.
The experts at Bionic have said: "Not only does it make your tea taste funny, limescale's insulating properties mean that appliances like your kettle need to use more energy to boil. It's often left behind when water evaporates and can be found wherever there's warm water, meaning you'll usually notice it - and have to clean it more - on appliances such as kettles, dishwashers and washing machines.
The experts say "Around 90% of the energy used during a wash cycle is used just to heat the water to the selected temperature. By running colder washes and reducing temperatures from 40 degrees to 20 degrees you could save up to 60% of the energy used in every wash and still clean your clothes effectively. ".
