A+

The energy efficiency class A+ is a classification used to evaluate the energy efficiency of household appliances. It is a higher rating than class A and indicates that the device is even more efficient and economical in energy consumption than devices of class A.

The classification into energy efficiency class A+ is based on various factors such as the annual energy consumption of the device, its performance, and size. A device is classified as A+ if it has even lower energy consumption compared to devices in class A.

A device with energy efficiency class A+ consumes even less electricity to produce the same performance compared to devices with lower classes. This means that devices in class A+ generally have lower operating costs because they require even less electricity to perform the same job. However, it is worth noting that devices in class A+ are usually slightly more expensive than devices in class A, as they use more advanced technology.

Devices in class A+ use a variety of technologies to reduce energy consumption. For example, many refrigerators in class A+ use special insulation materials and improved cooling technologies to reduce energy consumption while maintaining a constant temperature inside. Another example is washing machines in class A+ equipped with sensor technology that automatically adjusts the required amount of water and washing time to reduce energy consumption.

As with devices in class A, it is also important to regularly maintain devices in class A+ and pay attention to how they are used. For example, turning off devices when not in use can help reduce energy consumption.

In summary, the energy efficiency class A+ offers even higher savings in operating costs than class A and enables consumers to identify energy-efficient devices that not only protect the environment but also save costs.

In 2021, the energy efficiency class A+ was replaced by the new classification of household appliances. The new scale ranges from A to G and includes additional classes such as A+++ to reflect the increasing energy efficiency of modern devices. The new classification is based on a revised measurement method and aims to enable a more accurate evaluation of the energy efficiency of household appliances. However, it is possible that older devices are still labeled with the old scale as they were produced before the introduction of the new scale.
