The new energy labels for refrigerators and freezers

Refrigerators and freezers have received a new energy label since March 1, 2021.
The classes are stricter, and the consumption measurement methods are more realistic for everyday conditions.

New energy label for refrigerators and freezers
There are now more factors that determine consumption and energy labeling. The type of appliance, ambient temperature, cooling system, number of storage compartments, and their size all now play a role. Unlike washing machines, for example, consumption is still estimated annually. This is because refrigeration appliances are usually left on all year round. Therefore, household differences are less dependent on frequency of use.

Additionally, the storage capacity of the refrigerator and freezer compartments is measured differently. With the new measurement methods, the volume is often slightly larger.
