Energy Efficiency Ratings
With a high demand for sustainable appliances that are cheaper to run, brands began breaking through the previously set standards – finding more ways for products to be energy efficient. In 2010, the grading system expanded, introducing ratings of A+, A++ and even A+++.
These new ratings blurred the lines between gradings and made it harder for buyers to assess an appliances’ true energy efficiency.
Today’s scale has been reverted to a simpler system, with appliances awarded a rating between A and G.
This means some products that previously rated highly, falling within the A+ categories, have shifted down the scale. This does not mean they have decreased in efficiency.
This new, simpler scale makes it easier for buyers to detect energy efficiency. It also encourages brands to produce products that are even more energy efficient. You can now find the latest energy rating labels on all new appliances and bulbs.
