British households are turning up the heat—but not in the way you’d expect! New research from Smart Energy GB reveals that nearly a fifth (18%) of Brits argue more about energy use than any other topic.
In fact when it comes to the top ten household debates causing tension across the nation, 60% of them are linked to energy usage.
Therefore to help bring some calm, Smart Energy GB teamed up with podcast duo Kate Lawler and her husband Boj as well as psychologist Dr Becky Spelman, to help put Brits’ debates to bed once and for all.
Dr Spelman advises couples that “Habits, fairness, and control are the things most couples bicker about, especially if they’re living together. From heating battles to never-ending laundry cycles, household habits are up for contention – but they’re small squabbles that just need a little flexibility to navigate.
In fact, a smart meter can help shift the focus from frustration to facts, making it easier to meet your loved ones in the middle and make decisions on the debates that involve energy use.”
Plus having a smart meter could save households an average of £140 a year.
Win, win, win.
So the only question left to resolve is whether you prefer a crispy or soft towel?
