How to Choose an Energy-Efficient Home Appliance
By UrbanQuick Store Editorial Team · Updated
Read the power rating
Each product's specifications list rated power in watts. Compare models of similar capacity, keeping in mind that rated power alone does not show total consumption over time.
Prefer inverter technology where relevant
For appliances that run for long periods — ACs and refrigerators — inverter compressors generally reduce electricity use compared with fixed-speed compressors.
Choose the right size
An appliance that is too large for your needs wastes energy; one that is too small works harder. Match capacity to real usage.
Use and maintain it well
Clean filters, good ventilation and correct settings keep appliances efficient throughout their life.
