Energy labelling is important, because it ensures that consumers can take energy performance into account when buying appliances. The labelling is based upon a simple ‘A’ to ‘G’ scale with ‘A’ being the most energy efficient, using half the energy of a ‘G’ rated device of similar type.

An energy efficient appliance can save its replacement cost over its lifetime. The labels currently apply to fridges, freezers, washing machines and dryers.

Use the energy label to help you choose and get the best value for your money.
