CLEAR NUMBERS. INFORMED CHOICES.

About Home Cost Wise

We help UK households understand appliance electricity costs before changing a routine or buying a replacement.

What you can use here

Our calculators turn power, energy-label figures and your own usage into daily, monthly and annual estimates. Buying guides explain capacity, installation, maintenance and ownership costs alongside an editable comparison. You can use the tools without creating an account.

How we work

We show the assumptions behind our arithmetic and link to official guidance, manufacturer specifications or manuals where relevant. Example figures are labelled as hypothetical. A manufacturer's claim is not treated as an independent test result, and a rating letter alone is not a recommendation.

We do not claim hands-on testing, invent customer reviews or publish made-up ratings. The 30-guide library is an unranked selection of appliance categories, not a verified national sales league table.
