Gillmans have always offered exceptional Customer Service and value for money, we are taking that commitment forward by illustrating the Energy Efficiency of our Appliances ...you can even sort our products by their energy rating.

Energy Efficient Appliances save you money, and help the environment !

Throughout our website you will see symbols such as these they represent the energy efficiency of the appliance concerned (roll your mouse over the symbol to see the EU Energy Rating )

The EU Energy Label is designed to tell you the exact energy consumption of your appliance in units (kWh's) under standard conditions.

It must, by law, be displayed on all of the following types of new household products displayed for sale, hire or hire-purchase:

• Fridges, freezers and fridge-freezers
• Washing machines
• Tumble dryers
• Washer dryers
• Dishwashers
• Electric ovens
• Air conditioners
• Lightbulbs

The more efficient the product, the less energy it needs and the more you get for your money. 'A' rated products are the most energy efficient and 'G' rated products are the least energy efficient.
As part of the programme the EU is removing the least energy efficient models from sale. Since September 1999, manufacturers have had to stop making fridges, freezers and fridge-freezers rated 'D' or below (or F and below for chest freezers). At the same time standards have been raised and from July 2004 where there are higher A+ and A++ rating for these types of appliances. (look for our symbols)

The Energy Saving Recommended logo helps you identify and buy energy efficient products. It may be displayed alongside, but not instead of, the EU Energy Label.

Only products that meet or exceed the energy efficiency criteria set by the Energy Saving Trust and backed by the Government can display this logo. It can be shown on the same type of products covered by the EU Energy Label but in addition covers gas boilers and heating controls.
