Most Energy Efficient
Energy Efficiency
When it comes to reducing carbon emissions, one of the most important considerations when selecting an appliance is energy efficiency. Research shows that across most appliances around 40% of the carbon impact comes from the use of the appliance once it's at home with you.
We have reviewed our product ranges and highlighted the top 20% best performing products in the key categories of fridges, freezers, dishwashers, washing machines, dryers and TVs.
These products fall within the top 20% (or next closest percentage interval) of most energy efficient products on our website in this category based on publicly available data from the Equipment Energy Efficiency Program.
