10 ways to slash utility bills with Beko appliances
Practical energy saving tips to slash utility bills with high-efficiency appliances, plus simple habits that cut costs without fuss.
Short evenings, busy kitchens, laundry piles, rising bills. Home routines matter, and small changes add up. With a few simple adjustments and high-efficiency appliances, you can keep comfort high and costs steady. Designed for reliable performance and long-term value, Beko appliances help every home run smoothly and affordably.
1. Choose high-efficiency appliances first
Big savings start with the appliances you use daily. Look for strong energy ratings across laundry, cooling, cooking, and dishwashing. Beko’s energy-efficient washing machines, heat pump tumble dryers, and fridge freezers with steady cooling performance help reduce both your footprint and your bills.
Tip:
Prioritise appliances that run every day, like fridges and washing machines. Choose the right size for your household to avoid unnecessary energy use.
2. Wash at 30°C and wait for a full load
Lower wash temperatures mean less electricity per cycle, and full loads reduce the number of weekly washes. Beko washing machines include programmes that perform efficiently even at lower temperatures, so your clothes come out fresh without wasting energy.
Quick win:
Use the quick or Eco programme for lightly soiled items, and plan your washes to fill the drum.
3. Use the Eco programme on dishwashers
Eco modes run at lower temperatures and over a longer period, which uses less energy overall. A Beko dishwasher with AutoDose technology dispenses the right amount of detergent and rinse aid every time, helping you avoid re-washing and wasted water.
Make it a habit:
Skip pre-rinsing dishes, load the racks efficiently, and let the Eco cycle run fully for the best balance of cleanliness and efficiency.
4. Dry smarter, line dry often
Tumble drying uses more energy than washing, so air dry whenever possible. When the weather turns, Beko heat pump dryers offer a smart solution with closed-loop systems that save energy and sensors that stop cycles automatically once clothes are dry.
Try this:
Dry lighter loads indoors overnight and reserve the tumble dryer for towels and bedding.
5. Set fridge and freezer temperatures right
Fridges run around the clock, so small tweaks make a big difference. Keep your fridge around 4°C and your freezer near -18°C. Avoid overfilling or placing hot food inside, and check door seals regularly to maintain cooling performance.
Smart move:
Beko’s Frost Free technology keeps ice build-up at bay, so your fridge and freezer stay efficient without the need for manual defrosting.
6. Cook with precision
Induction hobs heat the pan directly, cutting down wasted heat and cooking time. Combine that with practical kitchen habits like using lids on pots and matching pan size to the hob ring, and your energy savings quickly multiply.
Everyday idea:
Batch cook dinners for the week and reheat portions in a Beko microwave — quick, easy, and efficient.
7. Pick the right programme, not the fastest
Speed settings are handy, but they often use higher temperatures. For regular use, Eco programmes on washing machines and dishwashers reduce energy consumption while still delivering great results.
Tip:
Use the delay start function to run these longer cycles overnight or while you’re out.
8. Shift usage to off-peak hours
If your energy tariff offers cheaper off-peak rates, take advantage of them. Most Beko appliances include a delay start option, so you can run laundry or dishwashing during low-rate hours and wake up to clean clothes and plates.
9. Keep appliances well maintained
Simple upkeep keeps performance high and energy waste low.
· Empty lint filters on tumble dryers after every use.
· Clean dishwasher filters and spray arms weekly.
· Wipe fridge seals to ensure tight closure.
· Descale kettles and washing machines regularly if you live in a hard water area.
These small habits extend appliance life and keep efficiency at its best.
10. Replace outdated models and size right
Older appliances often consume more energy. When the time comes to replace them, look for models with high energy ratings, durable designs, and the right capacity for your needs. Beko’s high-efficiency range offers exactly that balance — technology that saves power without compromising everyday performance.
