We've partnered with Youreko to help you understand how much money you could save by choosing an energy efficient appliance.
The tool displays an energy saving compared to the least efficient like-for-like model. For example, '£297 energy saving' is shown when viewing a 10kg washing machine compared to the least efficient 10kg on the market.
The tool takes into account power consumption, average usage, lifespan, and energy tariff, as well as the average annual tariff increase. You can even customise this to your household for a more accurate figure.
A) Power consumption 0.66 kWh per cycle
B) Usage 284 yearly cycles
C) Tariff 19.27p per kWh
Electricity cost (AxBxC)/100=£36.12
Annual electricity increases over 11 years is applied giving a lifetime energy cost: £517.58
The tool recommends alternative products if they are found to save you more money through their energy savings. The alternative products may cost more upfront, but will save you money in energy costs in the long run.
Using the Youreko tool will make sure you always get the most energy efficient appliances that are right for your home and family.
