How to reduce the energy use of your appliances

Lower energy use does not always mean replacing every appliance. Settings, maintenance and everyday use can make a real difference.

Use the right programmes

Eco programmes may run longer but can reduce water and energy use.

Avoid unnecessary half-loads

Combining loads reduces repeated cycles.

Keep filters and airflow clean

Blocked filters can make an appliance work harder and longer.

Watch for changes in behaviour

New noises, much longer cycles or unusual heat can indicate maintenance is needed.
