Cost of running a Tumble Dryer!

We all know Tumble Dryers are a very costly appliance, but how much does it cost?

Figures Checked April 2016

The prices shown below are the lowest prices from each supplier for new customers for Electricity only  –  and some of the higher prices for comparison. Figures are based on a usage of 7000  kw/h per year  rounded to the nearest Euro. (Inclusive of VAT). If you have gas too you will probably use less electricity.

In the example shown  – the difference between the  dearest and the cheapest  deal  is  €337 in the first year.
