Facts and figures
Power your TV for free! If you chose to buy an Energy Saving Recommended fridge and freezer, you could save enough on your energy bill to pay for the cost of running your TV for over a year. But let’s not forget the carbon – if every appliance you bought (dishwasher, fridge, freezer and washing machine) was Energy Saving Recommended you would save enough CO2 to fill 2 double-decker buses or 70 red telephone boxes each year. That’s a lot of CO2!
(Annual carbon dioxide savings based on replacing a 15 year old appliance (fridge, freezer, washing machine and dishwasher) with an ESR appliance)
(TV saving based on an average 3 year old TV with typical usage, energy use data from MTP What-If? And the saving from buying an ESR model over a current stock average).
