Pay less for your ice cubes. Fridges and freezers are the hardest working appliances in the kitchen - they are on the go 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so if your fridge or freezer isn't energy efficient it's costing more to run and is responsible for a higher amount of carbon dioxide.
Energy Saving Recommended fridges and fridge freezers use up to 60% less energy than a typical old one. This will give savings of up to £36 and 140 kilograms of CO2 a year for a fridge freezer and £12 and 45 kilograms for a fridge.
If everyone in the UK upgraded their fridges and freezers to Energy Saving Recommended ones, energy wastage would be cut, saving over £700 million and the equivalent CO2 emissions of 500,000 homes.
Always look for the Energy Saving Recommended logo before you purchase your fridge, freezer or fridge freezer. It's your guarantee that these products are the most energy efficient in their category, will cost less to run and help prevent climate change.

Always remember to switch appliances off standby when you've finished using them. Incredibly, £875 million worth of energy is wasted in the UK every year by people leaving appliances on standby.
