Fridge freezer energy ratings explained

Fridge freezer energy ratings tell you about the energy efficiency and power usage of each model. The higher the rating, the more energy efficient the model is.

New energy labels were introduced on the 1st January 2021. In comparison to the older labels, they’re easier to understand and show the energy efficiency of the electrical product. The old labels showed a range of energy efficiency from A+++ to G, with A+++ being the most efficient. The new labels show a specific energy efficiency rating from A to G, with A being the most efficient.

The new labels allow customers to compare the energy efficiency of different products more easily and make more informed choices about which products to purchase. They also state the estimated annual energy cost of running the product to help consumers to compare the running costs of different products.

However, these figures can vary depending on the size and efficiency of the fridge freezer, as well as how often the door is opened and closed. For example, a fridge freezer that is opened and closed frequently will use more power than one that is not. If the seal is broken, the fridge freezer will need to use more energy to keep the inside cool.

To find out how much power your fridge freezer is using, you can check the energy label attached to it. If you want to reduce the amount of power your fridge freezer uses, you can try some simple energy-saving tips, such as:

• Making sure the door is closed properly
• Defrosting it regularly
• Keeping it away from heat sources.

You can also buy energy-efficient fridge freezers, which use less power than standard models. Some manufacturers offer models that use as little as 1 kWh of power per day, which can save you about £50 per year on your electricity bill. If you're looking for a new fridge freezer, it's worth considering one of these models to save money on your energy bills.
