Are eco kettles any good? Or are there better ways to save energy?

There certainly seems to be a lot interest in kettles – judging by the number of searches for ‘kettles’ we get on Sust-it. So why aren’t we trying to sell you ‘eco’ kettles? It’s quite simple; if your existing kettle is in good safe working order; regularly descaled and allows you to see how much water you’re boiling, there isn’t much point changing it. The important thing is how you use it. i.e. only boiling the amount of water you need, which is the biggest feature of most eco kettles.
