Does anyone know a “ball park” figure for, say, a 40 degree wash in terms of cost ? Just a ruff idea … and are we likely to be talking just a few pence saving, or more ? for selecting a half load / quick wash …

From the energy labels given on household appliances these days, you can work out the average annual running cost and savings by multiplying the KWh consumption figure by 7p (which is the average unit price of electricity – your actual savings will depend upon the exact consumption figure.
That provides the basic information and you can sub-divide that by around 75{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} for a half load….?
P.S. Don’t forget that does not include costings though for water or detergent. Add around 35p to cover that (per wash) when using proprietory detergent brands 😉
