The easiest way to adapt to cut energy costs is to review your cooking methods and see if there are any changes that can be made. A conventional oven uses as much as 5kW of power to operate and can be a drain on finances. Why not switch to air fryer cooking to save both time and energy in the kitchen as air fryers can cook 30% faster than a conventional oven at a fraction of the cost. There is also a wide variety of different size air fryers that allow you to streamline cooking and adapt them to suit your lifestyle, so you can create meals for the whole family or a quick bite in a hurry without breaking the bank. Swan’s 7.6L Dual Basket Digital Air Fryer allows you to cook full family meals in no time, whilst the individual baskets will let you cook different foods simultaneously or larger portions using the Match Cook function. With 8 cooking pre-sets to choose from and cyclonic technology to ensure evenly cooked foods, a Swan Air Fryer will save both time and energy in the kitchen.

 

We’ve all been there. A full load of laundry has just finished in the washer and it is just convenient to grab and stick it all in the tumble dryer. However, the average tumble dryer to tends to use 1,500 – 2,500 watts at a cost of £1.21 a load (according to nea.org.uk), so can quickly add when used over time. Whilst it might initially seem like more hassle, utilising a heated clothes airer can save you a lot of time and money in the long term and can be moved around the home with ease to find the most convenient spot. Swan’s 3 Tier Heated Clothes Airer does exactly this as it provides an eco-friendly method drying your laundry and it is gentle on clothes as it can easily accommodate anything from shirts, dresses and trouser to large garments like curtains and bed sheets to make laundry day fuss free. At a cost of just 10.1p per hour to run, you can dry all your garments for a fraction of the price of using your tumble dryer and the clothes will look & smell fresher as a result.

 

Cutting back on using central heating will naturally money and electricity, but it is important to be vigilant to prevent damp in homes. A dehumidifier will help to combat this as it removes excess water from the atmosphere to prevent the build-up of mould and mildew, whilst it will also help to reduce allergens to create a healthier environment for allergy sufferers. Swan’s 20L Low Energy Dehumidifier perfectly illustrates this as It can remove up to 20 litres of moisture from any room in just 24 hours, whilst the 4L water tank will automatically shut off when full to avoid spills. Smart Humidity control will turn off the dehumidifier when the humidity level reaches 34% to 85%, so you can enjoy a healthy home with minimal effort required.
