Energy-saving tips

 

Energy rating calculator

More stars equals more savings! Energy Rating Labels are an Australian Government requirement on new appliances, making it easy to compare running costs. When comparing similar sized appliances, look for more stars on the label to save money. Make sure the energy consumption score is low as it will be cheaper to run. Before making your next purchase, see how much your new appliance will cost you by using the Energy Rating Calculator here.
