The Energy Saving Trust (EST) recommends all of Hoover's energy
efficient products on its website
www.energysavingtrust.org.uk,
and even gives handy tips on how to use your appliances more efficiently:
- Using a 40°C wash cycle rather than 60°C means you use
a third less electricity. Reduce the wash to a 30°C cycle and the amount of
electricity saved (not to mention money) will be even higher. Modern washing
powders and detergents work just as effectively at lower temperatures so
unless you have very dirty washing, bear this in mind.
- If everyone in the UK upgraded their old cold appliances
to an energy saving recommended product, energy wastage would be cut by over
two-thirds. Enough CO2 would be saved to fill 24 million double-decker buses
and the electricity saved would be equivalent to the annual output of three
700MW power stations.
