Energy Label
Fridges, dishwashers, washing machines, ovens – it all started with white goods in the 1990s. Today, other energyconsuming appliances also carry the European energy efficiency label, such as televisions and lighting. From 2013, the
regulations applied to air conditioners and heat pumps but since September 2015, it has also been applicable to room
heaters, water heaters and storage water heaters.
Minimum energy efficiency requirements are also specified for manufacturers of system and combi boilers, water heaters
and DHW cylinders.
The purpose of Energy Labels are to assist consumers in their purchasing decisions, as well as ecodesign requirements on
products which help reduce private energy demand and help to reduce global warming.
Panasonic helps you to calculate the system label.
From 26th September 2015, installers can be assured that all
products manufactured after this date will be sold with the required
energy efficiency labels which will aid installers with their
paperwork. While it is the manufacturer’s responsibility to issue
their products with the required labels, the installers will need to
calculate and issue an energy efficiency label for the entire heating
system. Whether installing a new heating system or installing new
boilers, controls or renewables into an existing system, it is, and
will continue to be, the installer’s responsibility to calculate and
issue energy efficiency labels. Calculators which assist installers
with this process are available on www.panasonicproclub.com.
Information on the energy efficiency label.
The rating system for heat pumps classifies them into seven
efficiency categories. From 26th September 2019, the best energy
efficiency category is A+++, least energy efficient is D. The energy
efficiency label for system boilers shows its efficiency category on a
scale from A+++ to D, and from A+ to F for hot water cylinders.
