Chest freezer: how much does a C energy label save compared to an F energy label?
You do both yourself and the environment a favor if you go for an energy-efficient chest freezer. After the average 15-year lifespan of the chest freezer, you've saved the environment an average CO2 emission equal to the emissions of a 8200km car ride. In the end, you'll save your wallet € 595.
C saves the CO2 emissions of a 8200km car ride
With an energy-efficient D chest freezer, you'll save 2280kWh energy on average compared to an F chest freezer. This is based on a 15-year lifespan. This amount of energy equals a 1222kg CO2 emission, which is about the same as a car ride to Sri Lanka. A high amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is what causes global warming. So with an energy-efficient model, you do your part for the environment.
C saves € 595
An energy-efficient chest freezer has an average purchase price of € 514. That's € 95 more than a non-efficient model, but you do save € 595 on average after 15 years. This is because of the lower energy costs, which are € 46 lower than with a chest freezer with an F energy label.
Cost comparison
| C | F | |
|---|---|---|
| Average consumption per year | 137kWh | 289kWh |
| Annual energy costs (€ 0.30) | € 41 | € 87 |
| Average purchase price | € 514 | € 476 |
| Total costs after 15 years (purchase price + energy costs) | € 1129 | € 1781 |
