And what is also introducing confusion is that they are allowed to sell old models under the old energy label but new models have to apply the new label.
So you can have a 2020 model fridge labelled "A+++" but the more energy efficient model 2022 model that replaced it is labeled "D".
- zaarn 5y agoI do think the change was necessary because with every device being A++ at minimum, the rating system was largely worthless. Though since the label also includes power usage per year, that is a good guiding line for comparing across the rating change.
