Easy kettle trick to knock £300 off energy bills – even helps reduce limescale build up

This means if you filled up your kettle for just one cup of tea, you’d use around 1p worth of energy.

However, energy experts actually think the best way to save money when using your kettle is to do the opposite of what scott8bits says.

They suggest filling the kettle up with only what you need is actually the most economical way to keep costs down.

Experts at Uswitch advise: “Don’t overfill the kettle – only use as much water as you need when you’re making tea or coffee.

“Even if you drink a lot of hot drinks during the day, it’s still more energy efficient to boil what you need each time you make a drink rather than fill the kettle at the start of the day and boil too much water.”
