Check the energy rating when buying new products

Energy Rating

Energy Rating labels are a good way of comparing the energy use of appliances. They use a ‘star’ based system to identify the energy efficiency of products. Many top models have four or more stars, with each additional star meaning an extra 10 percent saved on running costs.

For more information on Energy Rating Labels, visit the EECA Energy Rating webpage. This includes a formula for working out how much each appliance will cost you per year according to their KWh number.

ENERGY STAR

ENERGY STAR is an independent mark that helps identify the most energy efficient of products. It is now used on many products, from heat pumps through to home electronics such as televisions and computers.

For more information visit the ENERGY STAR website.
