Home appliances account for a significant chunk of your household CO2 emissions, so it's in your interests to look for the Energy Saving Trust Recommended logo when buying appliances. It's your guarantee that these products are the most energy efficient in their category, will cost less to run and help lower CO2 emissions.

It costs around 20% less to run a cycle on an energy saving dishwasher as it does on an old, inefficient machine. An Energy Saving Trust Recommended dishwasher will save you around £12 per year on your electricity bill and 48 kilograms of CO2. Energy Saving Trust Recommended dishwashers also use less water.

Fridges and freezers are the hardest working appliances in the kitchen - they are on the go 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so if your fridge or freezer isn't energy efficient it's costing more to run and is responsible for a higher amount of CO2.
If everyone in the UK upgraded their fridges and freezers to Energy Saving Trust Recommended ones, we could cut our energy use, saving over £700 million and the equivalent CO2 emissions of nearly 500,000 homes.

Kettles are one of the most used appliances in the kitchen. Energy Saving Trust Recommended kettles or instantaneous water heaters have to meet strict testing, ensuring that they demonstrate a 20% reduction in energy consumption over that consumed by an average kettle. If every household in the UK used an Energy Saving Trust Recommended kettle, we would save around £170 million of energy a year. This is enough electricity to power 330,000 homes for a year and enough CO2 to fill Big Ben tower over 75,000 times.
