Electricity Vampires: The Top 8 Appliances Draining Your Home's Power

2. Kettle: The Boiling Point

Ah, the trusty kettle. It’s your best friend when you need a quick cup of tea or coffee. But here’s the tea: your kettle is a bit of a drama queen when it comes to electricity. A single boiling session will cost you $26.67. While that’s fine for one or two cups, if you're boiling water several times a day (guilty as charged), the costs can pile up fast.

The good news is, saving money here is easy. Boil only as much water as you need! A full kettle for one cup? Let’s not. Plus, turn it off at the socket once you’re done. It’s a small step that can keep your electricity costs from boiling over.
