An energy label provides information about the energy class of a device and its basic parameters, including energy consumption. In the European Union, labels are required for household appliances, light sources and many other products.

Where can you find the label?

The energy label should be visible on products for which such information is required. It allows consumers to compare devices before buying and choose equipment that better matches their needs and operating-cost expectations.

What should you check?

The most important information is the energy class, annual or cycle-based energy consumption and additional parameters such as capacity, noise level or water consumption, depending on the type of product.

Reading the label helps avoid accidental choices. A device that is cheaper to buy may consume more energy during use, while a more efficient model can bring savings over time.
