Every refrigerator has an energy efficiency star rating awarded according to the conditions laid down by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency. One star means that the fridge is inefficient and consumes a lot of energy, while five stars are given to the most energy-efficient appliance.Oct 3, 2011

But if we factor in the above observation the difference comes out to be 100-150 units per year. Which means a 3 star rated refrigerator will consume about 100-150 units more than a 4 star and similarly a 4 star rated refrigerator will consume 100-150 units more than a 5 star per year.Apr 22, 2016

The major difference between 2star and 3 star refrigerators is the energy-saving level. A 3-star refrigerator saves a lot more energy compared to a 2 star. It consumes 311 kWh every year. Though it has a higher price, it is an excellent investment for the future.

Appliances sold before March 2021 showed a scale between A+++ (very efficient, in green) at the top, all the way down to G (which is red, and, you've guessed it, bad). ... Appliances that are rated as highly energy-efficient on this scale also tend to be more expensive.Sep 12, 2021

In fact, under the new energy rating scale, products that were once classified as A+++ in 2020, are now likely rated B or C. A++ is now classified as D or E, and A+ will find themselves F or G rated. This varies from product to product, along with product type.

• Electricity usage of a Refrigerator. Modern refrigerators are very energy efficient compared to older models from a few decades ago. A fridge will use anywhere from 100 to 400 watts depending on size, a large fridge will use about 180 watts or 1575 kWh annually.

• Energy star ratings indicate that a product meets federally mandated guidelines regarding energy efficiency. Though not all appliances come with an Energy Star Rating, many do, which contribute to sustainability. Products such as air conditioners, air purifiers, and refrigerators usually come with an energy star rating.

• On average, a standard model mini fridge uses roughly 230 kilowatt-hours per year, as much as many Energy Star rated full-sized refrigerators. The amount of energy a mini fridge consumes is due in large part to poor insulation and lack of cooling features.
