flag UK experts urge households to avoid using major appliances between 6–8 pm to save on high electricity prices.

flag UK energy experts advise households on time-of-use tariffs to avoid using major appliances between 6pm and 8pm, a peak electricity demand period when prices can reach 30–40p per kWh, significantly higher than off-peak rates as low as 16p. flag Shifting laundry, dishwashing, and drying to early morning or late evening can reduce annual energy bills by up to 20%, especially for those with smart meters. flag While fixed-rate users aren’t affected, time-of-use tariff holders can save by aligning appliance use with cheaper off-peak or super off-peak hours, particularly overnight.
