How to Choose an Energy Efficient Fridge Freezer
Our fridge freezers are among the few appliances that run 24/7 and constantly consume electricity. They also tend to have a longer lifespan compared to other appliances. Therefore, it's worth investing in a more energy-efficient model to keep costs down and reduce carbon emissions. Choosing an A-rated fridge freezer over an F-rated unit can save about £640 (equivalent to 610kgCO2e) in energy bills over the 17-year lifetime of the product.
We recommend continuing to use current appliances until they reach the end of their lifespan before considering a replacement. At that point, simply select a fridge freezer with a high energy rating. They may cost more, but they will pay for themselves within a few years.
