How much energy do you save with a new fridge?

In the table above, we use € 0.30 per kWh as the energy price for the calculations. Let's say you currently have an A+ fridge in your kitchen. When you choose a fridge with an A energy label, you can save 132kWh on average. Multiply this by € 0.30, and you'll save about € 40 per year.

Depending on the model, the materials, and the techniques, a fridge lasts about 15 years. The older the model is, the more energy it uses. That's because of little maintenance or problems that occur during its lifespan. Is your fridge almost 15 years old? You can save a lot of costs on your energy bill if you buy a new model.

Since March 2021, fridges have a new energy label. The energy label now goes from A to G, instead of A+++ to F. This provides better insight into the energy-efficiency of a model. Currently, an A energy label is the most energy-efficient for fridges.

Do you think a fridge is too expensive? With a Coolblue subscription, you can lease a fridge from € 25.99 per month. These models are energy-efficient too, so you can contribute to the environment. When the appliance breaks down, we'll exchange it within 48 hours.
