The transition to low-energy consumption appliances is a fundamental component of the broader green revolution, which aims to reduce the ecological footprint of our homes.
These devices, characterized by their high energy efficiency, are designed to minimize electricity consumption and contribute to the fight against climate change.
Choosing low-energy consumption appliances not only promotes environmental sustainability but also translates into significant long-term cost savings, thanks to reduced energy bills.
Identifying High Energy Efficiency Appliances
It is important not only to consider the energy class at the time of purchase but also to evaluate the technical specifications that can affect overall energy consumption, such as capacity, the type of technology used, and the available programs for optimised use.
Devices for low-consumption household cleaning
Vacuum cleaners, floor scrubbers, and electric brooms fall into that category of appliances we could never do without. Used practically daily, they are often energy-intensive and consume a lot of electricity. Inefficient motors, non-optimised consumption, and many other technical factors can inflate your electric bill.
Here, then, is 1 device that will help you with household cleaning by reducing consumption thanks to the new ECO function, with which you can save up to energy and even water*.
Polti Vaporetto Pro 8X Eco Plus
Steam cleaner equipped with ECO Function: Effective in deep cleaning thanks to the high pressure boiler up to 5 BAR.
The 3 least energy-intensive irons
Especially for those who, with an office job, are used to wearing shirts or clothes, ironing can take a lot of time, especially if the iron is not a new generation one.
Very often, there is a tendency to save on this important appliance by prolonging - and making more complex - ironing operations and also increasing costs on the electric bill.
Polti's La Vaporella is a line of high-efficiency products that not only reduces ironing times but also maintenance operations and limescale formation. The iron lasts longer with a significant positive impact on the environment, avoiding the need to change the device frequently. Furthermore, thanks to the ECO function, it allows reducing consumption, saving up to 35% of water and 41% of electricity!*
Polti La Vaporella XT120C
High pressure boiler iron with Eco function to reduce consumption.
Other high-consumption electrical appliances
Certainly, other household appliances that deserve attention are refrigerators, ovens, dishwashers, and washing machines. They are practically indispensable in every family and contribute significantly to increasing domestic energy consumption. Also, pay attention to air conditioners, hairdryers, electric heaters, and toaster ovens.
Refrigerators
A refrigerator can account for up to 20% of a family's energy consumption, so the advice is to consider modern refrigerators with the latest technology that can reduce consumption thanks to good cooling capacity and insulation.
Dishwashers
For dishwashers, the suggestion is to prefer models with an energy efficiency class higher than A, mainly using full-load operations (or almost) and low temperatures. Don't worry about stains or grease: the new models are technologically capable of maximizing water usage at any temperature.
Ovens
The average consumption of an oven is about 2,000 watts, making it one of the most energy-consuming household appliances that can weigh heavily on the bill. It is important, therefore, to choose the most sustainable appliance, whether gas or electric. Pay attention to the functions and also to the size of the chosen device.
Washing machines
Washing machines and dryers are indispensable devices used daily. At the time of purchase, it is essential to look not only at the energy label but also at the various available wash cycles. This allows reducing time and therefore, at the same time, saving water and energy.
Your transition to a more sustainable future
It is true that many of the actions that can change our future depend on choices that are not up to us (disposal of industrial waste, government ecological choices, etc.), but we can make a difference in our daily lives by choosing low-consumption appliances. Millions of drops of water that will make a difference environmentally and at the same time lighten our bill.
