To ask how often you run these appliances after I’ve had a HUGE energy bill?

How often do you run the dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer?

dishwasher here goes on every night without fail. The washing machine 6 out of 7 days. The tumble dryer 4 or 5 times a week. I didn’t think this was excessive? Is it?

aren't dryers notoriously electric hungry?

I don't have one as maiden dry with dehum or line dry if its nice. Could that be worth a shot? appreciate theyre not the prettiest things or the most space/time efficient but...

We don’t have a tumble drier or dishwasher. Washing machine probably six times a week on average, like you.

It's highish compared to the average, but not for a family with children.

If you're able to line dry washing, that's the easiest win.

Get a smart meter. It’s the only way to know where you’re draining the electricity

I do the same - heat pump tumble drier tho, energy £120 a month combined
