Fridge Star Rating

The energy-efficiency star count specifically for refrigerators — the same 0-6 scale applied to fridge-specific testing.

Refrigerators sold in Australia must display the Energy Star Rating Label showing stars (typically 0 to 6, sometimes 0 to 10 on super-efficient models) and annual energy use in kWh. The rating tests a fridge's energy use under standardised lab conditions; real-world use can differ based on ambient temperature, door-opening frequency and food load. A 4-star fridge versus a 2-star fridge typically costs $50 to $120 less per year to run depending on size.
