All modern appliances come with an energy labelling system, indicating the efficiency of different models, allowing you
to make an informed decision.
Roll your mouse over an area of the label to find out more information
- Manufacturer’s name and product details
- This confirms the manufacturer’s name and model number. Check that this is the same as the model you choose.
- The Energy Rating
- ‘A’ is the most efficient, ‘G’ the least. The only exceptions are refrigeration products which now go up to A++.
-
Remember, the more energy efficient an appliance is, the more you help the environment. By buying a more efficient model,
you’re not compromising when it comes to performance either.
- Energy consumption and running costs
- This shows how much electricity is used under standard conditions measured in kilowatt hours a year (kWh/year) for
refrigeration appliances or kilowatt hours a cycle (kWh/cycle) for washing machines and other appliances. You can work out
the annual running cost by multiplying the kWh consumption figure by 7p.
- How well does it perform in other areas?
- Laundry and dishwashing labels also have ratings for washing, spin and/or, drying performance. The A-G indicators
here are similar to the main energy efficiency ratings. They're based on standard industry tests- the test cycle
used is on the label. An A-rating is best.
-
A washing machine that has a good spin-drying performance will save you money and time on tumble drying.
- Noise
- Manufacturers don't have to provide this information. But if they do, you can use it to choose a quieter model.
A lower number means the appliance emits less noise.
-
All manufacturers print the noise level of their products in their brochures, so check them out if you reall need
to know.
