Questions people ask
How much does a fridge cost to run per year?
On the EU register, the typical model in the most common group (fridge-freezers, 200–299 L) uses 217 kWh a year. At 0.283 €/kWh that is about €61 a year.
Is an A-class fridge always cheaper to run?
No. The energy class is relative to size: a large A-class fridge-freezer can use more electricity than a small D-class fridge. Compare kWh per year within the same size band.
What does the noise class on a fridge label mean?
The label shows airborne noise in dB(A) and a class from A (quietest) to D. Most fridge-freezers are between 35 and 40 dB; every 10 dB sounds about twice as loud.
