Energy & Appliance Efficiency

Energy Star Rating

The 0–6 star (sometimes 0–10) efficiency label on every regulated Australian appliance.

The Energy Star Rating Label appears on every regulated appliance sold in Australia (refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, dishwashers, air conditioners, TVs and computer monitors). The star scale runs from 0 to 6 stars for most products and 0 to 10 stars for "Super-Efficiency Rating Label" products. The label also shows annual energy use in kWh, letting you estimate running costs at your local electricity rate.
