Bosch fridge with A + + energy coldkit rating Beko models CNA28200 (A) and CNA28521 (A +): The pric

Every year sold over a million appliances in Norway, and most of these have energy labeling. The idea of energy labeling is that if you buy appliances that use less power, so the total consumption go down. But it pays economical to buy energy efficient products? Do you get that money back on your electricity bill? According communications advisor Christian Brekke at Elkjøp there Electrolux, Miele, Bosch, Siemens and Whirlpool-selling coldkit refrigerator in Norway. We've taken a look at some of the combined companies to see if it pays to buy the energy-efficient models. Also read: Does for himself tomorrow appliances
The marking system Most refrigerators available today are sold with a label A or better, and all refrigerators under this ranking phased out. From 1 July this year, it is also banned in the EU to produce or import refrigerator with lower rank than A. The ban will eventually follow over to Norway. This applies to all refrigerating appliances household with lower capacity than 1500 liters, which means most people. That means you only have 3 categories to relate to when you go shopping refrigerator: A, A + and A + +. According energimerking.no be a refrigerator coldkit in the Class A + + use 40 percent less electricity than a refrigeration class A. Hard to save your money
Bosch fridge with A + + energy coldkit rating Beko models CNA28200 (A) and CNA28521 (A +): The price difference NOK 1000, and saved an 20-year Whirlpools models WM1801W (A) and WM1855AW (A +): The price difference in 1200 dollars, pays back in 32 years. Bosch models KGV36V03 (A) and KGV36X27 (A + +): The price difference 500, saved in at under 4 years. See all math Generally one can say that going up one energy class saves 60-70 million a year for a combined fridge and 40-50 dollars for a regular fridge with current electricity prices. Spending more gradually expenses for electricity will rise slightly as the refrigerator age and isolation and lists start to give in a little. Therefore, you can safely assume some extra kilowatts per year during the life of the appliance. However, electricity prices are expected coldkit to only go up in the coming years, and this speaks again to buy a refrigerator with higher energy class. Still can not purchase a A + or A + + refrigerator be much higher than the A model. If it is estimated that it will last for 10 years, then you have to under 700 in difference between the models that it should pay to go up an energy class. Lifetime Race excluding energy declaration says sadly nothing coldkit about how much electricity a refrigerator uses throughout the life cycle, when you include the production and shipping. If the refrigerator has ice maker, water tap, LCD and other gadgets, so this requires an incredible amount of power production. In addition transported many white goods over long distances to reach your home, and this energy cost is not included in the energy label. How much does your fridge? Elsparefonden in Denmark coldkit has a large database where all the appliances are stored. Here you can check how much power the old refrigerator uses. Difficult comparison, we have so far as possible tried to compare like refrigerators from the same manufacturer, just with different energy class. But there may be other functions, in particular technical solutions, which makes them more energy-saving cabinets are expensive. The point being still the same: There are few models and manufacturers where it currently pays economically to trade a refrigerator in higher energy class.
