Star rating labels
Energy efficiency star rating labels can be found on fridges, freezers, dishwashers, washing machines, clothes dryers and air conditioners.
Washing machines and dish washers also have a water efficiency label.
The more stars the more efficient the appliance.
The star rating of any appliance on the market can be found at www.energyrating.gov.au and www.waterrating.gov.au.
Are you wasting electricity?
When was the last time you used the clock on your microwave?
Lots of products consume standby energy even when we aren't actually using them, especially things turned off with a remote control.
About 10% of household electricity use is standby.
If there's no OFF button, turn appliances off at the power point.
Using power boards can make this easier.
Look for products that can be turned off or have the ENERGY STAR low standby label.
