UK households who agree to spend £29 being handed £205 energy bill discount

A bargain high street shop is selling a heated airier for cheaper than Lidl and it could save you £205 on energy bills. The Range is selling a Freestanding Heated Electric Clothes Airer by the brand Groundlevel for £29.99 amid the Cost of Living crisis.

Nicholas Auckland, heating and energy expert at Trade Radiators, said the device would cost roughly 37p to run for five hours. This is compared to a 1.5 kW electric radiator, which costs £1.84 to run for the same amount of time, or 55p to put the gas central heating on for one room.

It would cost £2.59 to run the device for five hours every week, which works out as £10.36 a month, or £51 for five months. Electric radiators, meanwhile, would cost £257.60 for five months. That means that if households swapped from using their radiator to a heated airer, they could save up to £205.
