A-Rated White Goods
These use less energy than non A-rated appliances which reduces the impact on climate change as well as saving you money each year.
A-rated goods can be purchased from all online appliance retailers and high-street stores.
EU Energy Labelling
By law all white goods must have an EU energy label rating. Appliances are rated from A-rated (the most energy saving) down to the G-rated (least efficient).
White goods will always display the energy label. The A-rated goods tend to be priced the same as other goods but they will save you money over their operational life.
