Look for the money-saving stars on air conditioners

Buying new energy efficient equipment eradicates the need to maintain old equipment that uses too much energy.

When purchasing new air conditioners, take notice of the energy-rating label. The more stars, the lower the heating and cooling bills:

  • Every extra star on an air conditioner can reduce your running costs by up to 10%.[1]
  • The star rating for air conditioners can go as high as 10 stars.
  • If possible, buy a unit that has at least 4.5 stars.
  • The blue stars show you how efficient the machine is at cooling. If you have a reverse-cycle system, it will also show you red stars – these rate how efficient it is at heating.
  • To compare the running costs of new air conditioners, go to the Federal Government’s Energy Rating website: EnergyCut.info/aircon-ratings
