Most people consider features such as capacity, looks, type and price when buying a refrigerator or freezer. It is important to also check the energy efficiency and running costs when shopping around.
Lifetime running costs can easily exceed the purchase price of a refrigerator or freezer.
So, check the star rating before you buy . All new refrigerators and freezers carry Energy Rating labels which use star ratings to help you compare the energy efficiency of different models. Quite simply, the more stars you see, the more money you'll save and the better it will be for our environment .
