This means that the average cost per unit of electricity has gone up today
The rising energy costs has left many families avoiding using their heating for as long as possible, but what about using the kettle? Households rely on their kettles for hot drinks and hot water bottles during the winter, and many claim its cheaper to boil the kettle for hot water to wash up, to boil pasta or even wash themselves instead of taking a shower.
Matthew Jenkins, energy expert at MyJobQuote, said: "With an estimated 95% of British families boiling their kettle at least once a day and 40% of families more than five times a day, the exact costs will vary on the size/power rating of your kettle plus your electric tariff cost.
However, if boiled water has been left for longer than 10 minutes it will usually need to be boiled again, costing the same amount as before. Mr Jenkins explained that a kettle is not the biggest electricity cost in a kitchen, and can be inexpensive if used correctly. This is because gas is cheaper than electricity, currently costing on average 7p and then 10p from October. However, if you decide to do this, only boil the exact amount of water you need on the correct sized hob.
