With nearly 9 million Smart meters installed in UK, consumers are becoming increasingly aware of what’s eating watts in their homes, and are looking at ways to reduce energy usage, both overall, and on a ‘product by product’ basis.
Sust-it have been ranking appliances, tech and cars by their running costs for over 10 years. Collecting the energy usage data of tens of thousands of household electricals, and, in recent years vehicles and electric cars. It has analyzed all this data to reveal the most energy efficient products in the UK marketplace in 2018, from washing machines to electric vehicles.
Ross Lammas – the Founder of Sust-it, said, “Energy monitoring is making energy usage a lot more transparent. Combine this with smart super-efficient appliances and internet linked heating systems and it is helping consumers conserve energy and reduce their bills. Lifestyle changes and purchasing decisions can make a real difference. Radical solutions, such as switching to an electric car, could save you GBP 800 year, or simply replacing an old fridge freezer could save GBP 50 yearly.

About Sust-it
Sust-it’s energy efficiency website ranks products by their energy usage and CO2 emissions. It does this through its unique calculations of average usage, combined with carefully researched energy usage data published by manufacturers and government agencies. The site is constantly updated and contains a wide range of products from Cars to Chest Freezers.
You can compare electricity tariffs and calculate your CO2 emissions at the same time. The electricity unit rates used to calculate the costs per hour/cycle/year are based on Gov.uk Quarterly Energy Prices.
The Sust-it website was conceived and developed by TurnRound, after its proprietor Ross Lammas, became increasingly frustrated by the difficulty in finding the data on the energy consumption of products, whilst he was building an environmentally sustainable office and home. The site is independent from any manufacturers, retailers or energy companies, and does not receive any funding from any Government agencies, trusts or independent charities.
