EECA’s Products programme uses labelling to provide consumers with energy efficiency information at the point of sale, and mandatory standards to remove the least energy efficient products from the market.
EECA specifies that New Zealanders keep the same fridge for around 16 years and that during that time, the running costs of the average fridge have halved.
