Compare installation & running costs for different types of home heating, cooling & air conditioning systems.
Energy Ratings, also know as Star Ratings as the rating can be visually represented with stars, is a great way for consumers to compare the efficiency of appliances easily.
Appliances which carry an energy rating have been tested for energy efficiency and energy consumption against similar sized products.
Running costs and savings depend on the size of your house, which in turn determines the size (in kilowatts) of the heating, cooling or air conditioning unit you need. For example, if you need a 3.5kw split system, you could buy a 4, 5 or 6 star rated system. All would be suitable for your home, but while the 4 star would be cheaper to buy, the running costs would be higher.
