Let\u2019s run some tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much electricity does a kettle use?

But <strong>people don\u2019t tend to fill their kettles with very specific amounts of water<\/strong>, so let\u2019s look at more realistic behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A study by Murray et al.

As a result, we can take behavior into account to give us a more accurate estimation of how much power electric kettles consume:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Electric kettles consume on average .073kWh per single use.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is more than the amount of electricity consumed when boiling enough water for one cup because overfilling is common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The table below

But one of the more interesting, and relatively unknown reasons is to do with the different voltages (V). The US uses 110V, while the UK is 230V.

An unfortunate position given the rate of use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, on average in the UK, electric kettles account for approx. 4% of an average household\u2019s total energy consumption.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to reduce electric kettle running costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are ways that you can minimize your energy consumption while keeping your electricity bills low. Below, I\u2019ve listed 7 easy tips to reduce the cost of boiling your electric kettle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7 tips to reduce the cost of boiling water in a kettle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Let\u2019s get this one out of the way first: <strong>use your electric kettle, or any kettle, less<\/strong>. This is the quickest and most effective way to keep your running costs low. <a class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0048969717336951?via%3Dihub\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">80% of the environmental impact from your electric kettle<\/a> is caused by its usage. Interestingly, the manufacturing of electric kettles makes up less than 4% of the impact, while transportation represents 1%.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Only boil what you need<\/strong>. Do not fill your kettle up more than is necessary (but be sure to fill it up to at least the manufacturer\u2019s minimum stated level). The more water you put into a kettle, the longer it takes to boil. This increases energy wastage and will increase your energy bills. Only boiling what you need will reduce the environmental impact from running your kettle by roughly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0048969717336951?via%3Dihub\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">1\/3<\/a>. If you want to boil one cup of water, consider filling that cup up with water, and pour it into the kettle so there\u2019s no wastage. But again, make sure the water level reaches the kettle&#8217;s mininum stated level.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Steer away from using an electric hob\/stovetop<\/strong>. Electric kettles are insulated, and their heating element is in closer contact with the water. As a result, they are more efficient, so it will cost you less to boil water compared to an electric hob\/stovetop. Hot plates or induction stovetops can, however, be slightly more efficient than electric kettles when used effectively.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Consider using gas<\/strong>. Gas hob stoves can bring water to a boil more cost effectively, even compared to electric kettles. This does, however, depend on the quality of kettles used, but given that gas prices in most countries are usually significantly lower than electricity, it could cost you less to boil water on a stove hob.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Keep your kettles running efficiently<\/strong>. Check for build up on your electric kettle\u2019s heating element and consider descaling. Check the bottom of your stovetop kettle for build up. And make sure your kettle\u2019s lid closes properly to avoid an excess amount of heat escaping.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Consider switching between energy providers<\/strong>. Usually energy providers have special offers to encourage switching. This can be a really effective way at reducing the cost of boiling a kettle.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Finally, <strong>don\u2019t heat water more than is necessary<\/strong>. Modern electric kettles, such as this <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/COSORI-Electric-Gooseneck-Temperature-Kettle\/dp\/B08BFS92RP?pd_rd_i=B09SMJ1VZH&amp;th=1&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=ecocostsavi01-20&amp;linkId=9fa11495b881b93679f8402103a98f5e&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">best seller<\/span><\/a><\/strong>, have temperature controls.
