What is an Energy Rating Label?

All household air conditioners (under 12kW cooling) must comply with the Energy Information (Household Air Conditioners) (No 2) Regulations 2005. This regulation implemented energy labeling for air conditioners.  The key points are: 

1. Manufacturers have an obligation to provide Energy Labels to dealers for their product
2. The design of the label must comply with the regulations and include the energy efficiency class of A to G
3. The information provided on the energy label must be measured in accordance with the harmonised standard EN 14511

How to read an Energy Rating Label?

1. Brand Name
2. Model Name
3. Energy Level
4. Reference Number
5. Other useful information

Why is an Energy Label necessary?

It allows consumers to compare the energy efficiency of the air conditioning from different manufacturers based on their performances bench-marked against a harmonised test standard, namely EN 14511.

Research shows that 87% of British consumers are aware of the A-G standards. 97% of European consumers understand that A is the most energy efficient appliance rating.

Why are correct Energy Labels important to retailers?

A dealer or retailer must, by law, provide information required to be on the energy labels clearly and visibly at the point of sale whether online or offline. The energy class should, of course, conform to EN 14511.

What information is required on the label?

• Supplier’s name or trade mark
• Model   
• Energy efficiency class (A-G)   
• Indicative annual energy consumption, assuming full load at 500 hours per year.
• Cooling output in kW at full load
• The EER (energy efficiency ratio) in cooling mode at full load  
• Type of appliance: cooling only, cooling/ heating  
• Cooling mode: air cooled, water cooled  
• Noise rating, where applicable  

For air conditioners with a heating capability, also:

• Heat output in kW at full load.
• The COP (coefficient of performance) in heating mode & energy efficiency class (COP = 1 if resistive element heater)

ALL ECOAIR AIR CONDITIONING ARE PROVIDED WITH ENERGY LABELS THAT CONFORM TO THIS REGULATION. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT RETAILERS PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION AT THE POINT OF SALE.
