Frequently asked questions

How does the simulator estimate savings?

It compares the typical energy consumption associated with the current and target classes, then multiplies the difference by your electricity price and usage assumptions to give an indicative yearly saving.

Can I use it for any appliance?

The simulator is designed for common household appliances that carry an energy class label, such as refrigerators, washing machines, or dishwashers. Results are indicative and depend on your actual usage.

Why do results vary from real savings?

Actual savings depend on how you use the appliance, local climate, maintenance, and the specific model. The simulator provides a simplified estimate based on average consumption patterns for each class.
