What Are Electrical Appliance Energy Ratings?

Electrical appliance energy ratings are the ratings that were applied in the UK in 2020. The system allows you to compare energy ratings across a number of appliances which allows you to understand the energy ratings that you should expect to enjoy over specific periods of time in terms of use. This set a new standard of energy efficiency across appliances which have resulted in a number of fantastic appliances being developed which put energy efficiency at the forefront of operations. There are a number of appliances that have exceptional ratings so we have provided a list of what to look out for below:

 

Choosing to Upgrade an Appliance

 

Choosing to upgrade an appliance can be a substantial investment, but choosing A+++ appliances compared to older appliances can save you money on your energy bills. With the rise in energy prices, upgrading to a new appliance can save you significant amounts of money in the long term. Appliances in the past were built to last, so you are likely to have a cooker or fridge that has seen better days. Although your older appliance may seem reliable - it’s highly likely to be running less efficiently - especially compared to when it was brand new. There are a number of new appliances that offer higher efficiency ratings - so now is a great time to invest!

 

Which Appliances Should You Be Considering for an Upgrade?

 

Certain appliances see more use than others on a day-to-day basis. This naturally means that you should look to upgrade your appliance if you have an older appliance that needs some TLC. The hierarchy of appliances appears below:

Your fridge or fridge freezer is on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to keep food and drinks fresh. This means that it’s the top contender to consider for an upgrade. Fridges and fridge freezers also use cooling systems which results in higher energy use. They also solely use electricity - so if you have an old fridge or fridge freezer - we highly recommend considering a new appliance.

If you carry out a number of washes per day then your washing machine is another appliance that you need to consider in terms of an upgrade. There are a number of upgrades available and energy-saving washes that can put money back in your pocket.
