Sustainability and energy efficiency are no longer weird concepts to us. On one hand, these issues matter to society as a whole. On the other\u00a0hand, a more\u00a0sustainable<\/strong> home means a healthier space for you and your family,<\/span> and, of course, a chance to save money. But there is still some scepticism, especially when it comes to appliances, about the advantages of buying these types of products. An energy-efficient fridge is one of the clearest examples where you can see the difference in energy consumption.<\/strong> However, it is natural to wonder whether the savings are actually relevant. Spoiler: yes, it is. And we want to explain to you why. Thanks to the new generation of appliances, an energy-efficient fridge not only saves you money, but also takes care of the place we all love: Earth.<\/p>\n

European energy label: a quick guide for consumers<\/h2>\n

The European Union regulates energy labelling not only to encourage efficiency,<\/strong> but also to help us understand what we are buying. Since 2021, the old system from A+++ to G has been replaced by a simpler scale from A to G<\/strong>, with A and B being the most efficient ratings. Be cautious, though: the new label doesn\u2019t match the old one. An old A+++<\/strong> fridge is not automatically an A today. The testing methods and criteria<\/strong> have changed, so a fridge that was once considered top of the range might now score lower.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re unsure about your appliance\u2019s rating, you can check the EU\u2019s EPREL<\/a> database (European Product Registry for Energy Labelling). It lists every product sold in Europe<\/strong> with an energy label.<\/a> Checking your appliances there can feel a bit like scanning food labels with a nutrition app in the supermarket: at first, it\u2019s overwhelming, but soon it helps you become much more aware of your consumption. It is like stepping out of the Matrix.<\/p>\n

How much can an A-rated eco-friendly fridge save?<\/h2>\n

An A-rated energy-efficient fridge<\/a> can use up to 70% less<\/strong> electricity compared to older models. Impressive, isn\u2019t it? If your fridge is only five years old, the difference won\u2019t be quite as dramatic, but you will still notice savings. Over the appliance\u2019s lifetime, that can mean a few hundred. Not enough to make you rich, but certainly enough for a couple of festival tickets.<\/p>\n

\"New<\/p>\n

How is this level of efficiency possible? The secret lies in advanced technology, better materials,<\/strong> and highly skilled design.<\/strong> The development of Inverter technology, for instance, allows stable performance, quieter<\/strong> operation, and longer durability<\/strong> \u2014 all while optimising how the fridge works compared to older models. And then there\u2019s the environmental side. An energy-efficient fridge reduces CO\u2082 emissions<\/strong> and lowers your carbon footprint.<\/strong> It\u2019s a practical, sustainable<\/a> choice that benefits both your wallet and the planet.<\/p>\n

A sustainable fridge for fresher food longer<\/h2>\n

An efficient fridge doesn\u2019t just save electricity, it also helps keep your food fresh for longer. That means less food waste, more nutrients in your meals, and savings both for you and for the planet.<\/p>\n

Modern designs adapt to the needs of different types of food. For example, in the latest generation of Teka fridge freezer<\/a> combos, you\u2019ll find features like:<\/p>\n
