Supplier’s model identifier

Brand name or trade mark

Energy efficiency class

Annual energy consumption in kWh per year. To calculate the kWh running cost, take the total kWh value and multiply by the cost of a unit of electricity

All energy labels carry the following information:

Brand name

Supplier’s model number

Energy efficiency class.

Some, but not all labels, include energy consumption information. It indicates how many kilowatt hours (units of electricity) will be used per year, per hour or per cycle under specified operating conditions. To estimate costs, simply multiply the kWh number by the cost of a unit of electricity (currently around 16c).
