FAQ
Good questions
Where do the energy numbers come from?
From Australian Government Energy Rating registration data. The label figure is a standard test, so it helps compare products but is not a prediction of your bill.
Is that what it will cost in my home?
Actual use varies with your appliance, environment and habits. Enter your own electricity rate for a more relevant estimate.
Why 35c/kWh?
It is an example rate, not a quote. You can change it to the rate on your electricity bill; your choice stays in this browser.
Do I need to sign up?
No. There are no accounts or email forms.
How do you make money?
Some retailer links may earn a commission. This never changes the ranking. Read our disclosure.
