A lot depends on the age of the appliance, the older the appliance the less efficient it is.

Many years ago my dad and I tried in vain to tell my mum that is was cheaper in the long run to leave the immersion heater on, rather than heat a whole tank of water. Was only in the summer as the coal fire heated the water in the winter and only needed the immersion heater occassionally. But she would not listen.

I keep telling OH not to heat up the iron for just 1 item.
Have even seen him iron 1 TIE.
I suppose I should be pleased he does his own ironing, but wish I could get him round to my way of thinking.
Much as I hate it, I iron in bulk.
Our house is all electric & a 2 months bill in the winter was €250.
Bang went my winter fuel payment. :-D :-D

AnnC - One of the best items I ever bought was a 12litre Halogen Oven. It has cut my electric bill substantially and together with fitting 7 watt low energy lighting bulbs throughout the house and turning everything off at night makes me a very happy chappy.

PS. I have 2 Halogen Ovens now.
