Save on your electricity bill with your household appliances

With the constant rise in energy prices, reducing electricity consumption has become a priority for many households. Did you know that your household appliances can play a central role in your savings? From appliance selection to optimized usage and energy-saving modes, here's how to make the difference.

Check the energy label of your appliances

The energy label is a key indicator for choosing an energy-efficient appliance. It classifies products from A (very efficient) to G (very energy-intensive). Today, modern appliances often display classes A, B, or C, which guarantees reduced consumption.

Investing in an energy-efficient washing machine, refrigerator, or dishwasher may seem expensive upfront, but the savings on your electricity bill quickly pay off in the long run.

Use “Eco” or “Power Save” modes

Many devices have energy-saving programs :

• Washing machines and dishwashers adjust the time and temperature to reduce water and electricity consumption.

• Modern ovens offer “eco” or “convection” modes for cooking while limiting the energy used.

• Connected air conditioners and refrigerators automatically adjust their operation according to usage and ambient temperature.

These modes allow you to reduce the electricity consumed without sacrificing performance.

Optimize the daily use of your devices

A few simple actions can make a big difference:

• Always fill your washing machines and dishwashers to maximize their efficiency.

• Turn off standby appliances, such as coffee machines or food processors.

• Defrost your freezer regularly to keep it running better.

• Adjust the refrigerator temperature to between 4 and 5°C and the freezer temperature to -18°C to limit consumption.

Invest in recent and connected devices

Recent appliances often consume less electricity thanks to new technologies:

• Whirlpool's 6th Sense automatically adjusts consumption according to the load or cooking type.

• Smart refrigerators regulate their coldness based on the volume of food and the door opening.

These innovations help reduce your bill while simplifying your daily life.
