One of the most sought-after household gadgets of 2022, heated airers can also help you save on your energy bills.
With the cost-of-living crisis continuing to cause concern for families across the UK, we have looked at the best ways to save money on your household appliances as part of our Your Money Matters campaign.
Similar to traditional clothes horses, the bars heat up, drying your clothes, when plugged into your mains electricity.
The cost of running a heated airer can depend on its wattage and you can even get covers for them to keep the heat in and gets your clothes drier faster.
How to reduce your energy bills
Generally the higher the wattage, the more the airer will cost you to run so if you invest in an airer that uses less than 2,500 watts (which is the average for a standard tumble dryer), you'll be saving money.
The price will also vary depending on your provider and how often you use it of course.
You can also check with your energy supplier what your electricity unit rate is and you may also be able to see it on your energy bill too.
