What does the energy efficiency rating label mean?

Energy label confirmation

This is a label confirming that the product's performance and power consumption meet or exceed the energy efficiency standards (HEPS) set by the Ministry of Industry and Trade at the time the product is tested.

Electricity consumption and usage have been proven through testing, measurement and evaluation results of the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

Comparative energy label

Comparative energy labels are labels affixed to products circulating on the market, showing the energy efficiency rating (from 1 star to 5 stars) and detailed parameters related to the origin, evaluation standards, and energy consumption efficiency of the product.

The 5-star label is considered to have the most energy-saving level in the energy-saving ranking announced by the Ministry of Industry and Trade. Of course, products with the 5-star label are often more expensive than other products.

* Some special notes

For air conditioning

Air conditioners are one of the largest electricity consuming devices in the family. Therefore, choosing and using them properly will contribute to significantly reducing the amount of electricity you have to pay every month. In addition to choosing products equipped with inverter technology, you also need to know how to choose the appropriate machine capacity.

The energy savings can be up to 30% or more if you meet the above two requirements. In addition, two factors are also quite important on the energy label of the air conditioner: cooling capacity & energy efficiency.

The air conditioner energy label has an index that can accurately assess the power saving of the machine, which is the energy efficiency index (EER or CSPF) but is often little known. This is very important because the parameter reflects the conversion of the machine's energy consumption into cooling capacity, or simply put, the higher the energy efficiency index, the more energy-saving the machine is.

For refrigerators

Refrigerators also consume a lot of electricity used in the family due to year-round use. Energy labeling not only helps to eliminate poor quality refrigerators but also helps consumers easily eliminate products with low energy efficiency.

If you have enough money, you should also choose an inverter refrigerator. Although the price is higher than the regular line, the ability to save up to 20% of electricity consumption. Of course, choosing a refrigerator that suits your family's needs will also help you save electricity more effectively.

For washing machines

Washing machines used in the family have two main types: horizontal drum washing machines (front-load washing machines) and vertical drum washing machines (top-load washing machines). In addition to the basic function of pre-set washing programs, current washing machine models also have many other features such as washing with hot water and drying clothes. Depending on the needs and economic conditions, families choose the appropriate type of washing machine to use.

For electric fans

Because it is a popular cooling device in households, electric fans are also required to have an energy rating label. However, electric fans often have low power consumption, so users often do not pay attention to the energy saving rating label of this type of device but only focus on the design and utility of the product.
