Save on energy bills by upgrading to smarter-working kitchen appliances

We’re all switching up our daily habits to keep our rising energy bills in check. Making responsible choices, like putting on a jumper instead of the heating or taking short showers instead of long baths. But you also need to think about long-term swaps to keep your costs lower this winter.

Ditching old energy-zapping appliances for new smarter energy tech is the way to go if you want to keep the running costs of your household down. And with large kitchen appliances accounting for roughly 30% of annual energy consumption these are the household buys you need to focus on.

You’ll find greener machines at Currys to make your kitchen work more energy-efficient. The latest washing machines use less power, while modern dishwashers save on water. Add to the mix, state-of-the-art fridge freezers that reduce food waste, as well as innovative self-cleaning ovens.

And now is the best time to upgrade, as you can recycle your old appliances for free until 1 November 2022. To help you get started here are some key buys for responsible energy use…
