The Department of Energy (DOE) is set to impose integrating "star rating" on ordinary household electrical appliances in the coming months as a guide for the consumers to know their energy consumption. The directive will be addressed to the manufacturers of the electrical appliances.
The rating will be based on the number of stars indicated. More stars mean higher energy efficiency. So the consuming public has to look for the appliances that can help them save more on energy and would provide a large cut on their electrical bills.
The DOE also confirmed that appliances with inverter technology like refrigerators, washing machines, and air conditioning units can indeed lower a household's electrical energy consumption
Inverter technology was recently introduced in the market to provide significant cuts on the electric bill although inverter technology units are more expensive compared to the conventional units.

However DOE reminded the consumers to still scrutinize the deal offered by appliances with inverter technology because they are not all the same. The consumer must know the Energy Efficiency Rating (EER) or Energy Efficiency Factor (EEF) of the appliances to be purchased.
Engr. Isagani Soriano of DOE explained that higher EER also mean higher energy savings due to low operating cost.
You can always find the EEF written in black on a yellow sticker.
So when buying a particular appliance, you should consider checking these yellow tag out. You can compare their ratings and prices before spending your hard-earned money. Some with higher EER also costs higher but the benefit will be long term.
For example, in these particular brand of a refrigerator, it has a rating of 355, significantly higher than most refrigerators in the market.

Electricity giant Meralco also has been placing orange tags to provide ideas for the consumers about the energy consumption cost of electrical appliances.
Whether you want to follow the yellow, the orange tag or the upcoming star ratings, one thing is for sure, you are going to save more than you used to. Money is not easy to earn. We should wisely spend it where our toil is worthwhile.
