Home Appliances
Look for the Energy Saving Recommended logo when selecting an electrical appliance. The logo was developed by the Energy Saving Trust, in conjunction with industry and Government and appears on a wide range of products. It’s sign that the produce has met strict energy efficiency criteria.
Standby
Always remember to switch appliances off when you've finished using them. £875 million worth of energy is wasted in the UK every year by people leaving appliances on standby.Washing machines & Tumble Dryer
All Energy Saving Recommended washing machines need to be AAA rated: A for energy efficiency, A for spin efficiency and A for wash. When selecting a drier look for a model with a range of temperature settings and auto-sensing models which automatically switch off when clothes are dry.
Dishwashers
An Energy Saving Recommended dishwasher will save you around £12 per year on your electricity bill. It costs around 20% less to run a cycle on an energy saving dishwasher as it does on an old, inefficient machine.
Refrigeration products
Fridges and freezers are the hardest working appliances in the kitchen. Select the most appropriate size fridge or freezer for your storage requirements and place your fridge or freezer in a cool spot.Televisions
The latest integrated digital televisions mean there is no need for a set top digital box, so they use one power supply instead of two.Printers
Choosing an Energy Saving Recommended inkjet printer over a non-Energy Saving Recommended one can save you a third of the electricity you would normally use running your printer over a year. Always remember to print on both sides of the paper too and only print emails unless necessary.
