Nobody wants to pay more than they have to. Energy efficient appliances use less power, cost less to run, and are better for the planet. Think of it as saving money quietly, day in, day out.
Every new appliance, from a washing machine to a fridge freezer, comes with a clear A to G rating. An 'A-rated' appliance uses the least energy, while a 'G-rated' one uses the most. It’s the easiest way to compare models at a glance.
What else you’ll see on the label:
Did you know? The old A+, A++ and A+++ labels are gone. The new A–G scale makes comparing much simpler.

An A-rated fridge freezer uses less energy than a C-rated one. But always check the actual energy use in kWh too. A bigger A-rated model might still use more electricity than a smaller A-rated one.
Real Savings Example:
A D-rated washing machine could cost you around £100 more to run over its life compared to an A-rated model. Imagine those savings across all your appliances!
That big American-style fridge freezer might look great, but if you live alone or with just one other person, it could be using more energy than you need.
The same goes for dishwashers and washing machines. Pick the right size for your home. This stops you from running half-full loads and wasting electricity.
Let’s break down the money you could save by choosing a more efficient model:
So, while an A-rated appliance might cost a bit more upfront, it quickly pays for itself through lower running costs.
Once you have your energy-saving appliance, here are some tips to keep those bills low:

Heat Pump Tumble Dryers
Heat pump dryers reuse warm air to gently dry your clothes. This means they use much less electricity than standard dryers, saving you money and being kinder to the planet. Find out more in our guide: "What is a heat pump tumble dryer?"
Range Cookers
While energy labels for cookers are different, look for models with better insulation such as triple or quadruple glazed doors, that keep heat in for greater efficiency. Induction hobs offer the best energy efficiency by directly heating the pan saving so no energy is wasted.

Look for models with A or B ratings, low kWh usage, and features that make daily use easy and efficient.
