Additionally, 35 per cent appreciate tech speeding up their management of energy and utility bills, according to the stats by OnePoll.

“I’ve got smart plugs so I can use my phone to switch things on and off, including the kettle, and I always do the food shop online to avoid the supermarket dash.
“Using a smart prepay meter is another great trick – it means one less thing for you to think about, and you can even top up from your phone when out and about.”
MRS MUMMYPENNY’S TOP 5 TECH TIPS
1. The air fryer means I rarely have to use the more expensive oven and hob and it helps make meal prep so much quicker.
2. Smart plugs isolate the energy information for that specific device so you can track efficiency and allows you to remotely switch the plug on and off.
3. Smart meters allow me to see energy usage and cost on an hourly, daily, weekly or monthly basis and there is no need to submit monthly meter readings.
4. Online shopping allows you to click on repeat order and get the shopping delivered when it’s convenient for us.
5. Voice-activated devices can be activated by our voices or from our phones, from the television to lights to music speakers.
