Our Commitment

Comet are working with the Energy Savings Trust to make the most of energy. If we all commit to saving 20% of the energy we use everyday, together we can help prevent climate change.

We’ve selected some key energy saving measures that can help you save your 20%.  Record your commitment to saving 20% at www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/commit.  For more top energy savings tips, visit the Energy Savings Trust website.

To make your commitment, you simply need to commit to taking as many of the measures listed as you can.

If everyone in the UK upgraded their old appliances to Energy Saving Recommended products, enough CO2 would be saved to fill over 35 million double-decker buses.

Energy and water savings data:

Cold appliance energy savings are calculated on the basis of new A+ rated models replacing average, or standard, old machines. New machine energy consumption is based on the following averages: refrigerator, 138 kWh/year; fridge freezer, 270 kWh/year; upright freezer, 219 kWh/year; chest freezer, 231 kWh/year. Washing machine energy savings are based on the replacement of old machines with the latest models that achieve an energy consumption of 207 kWh/year. Water consumption for a new washing machine is based on 50 litres/cycle.

NB. Washing machines do not officially have an A+ rated label, but the MTP agrees to some models using A+ in their marketing materials: namely those achieving the performance described above and 0.17 kWh per kilo energy performance on the 60ºC cotton cycle, which is the industry standard testing cycle.
