[QUOTE="6pack, post: 2502194, member: 1119"] Not much cost saving between 2 star and 3 star refrigerators wrt initial cost price or energy tariff. 2 star consume around 260-290 units per year. 3 star consume around 210 to 250 unit per year. Difference in energy bill is max around 600 per year but price of 3 star is close to 5k to 6k higher than 2 star ones. So it will take 10+ years to make up for that cost difference if price of electricity is same. By the time you get back your initial "investment" the fridge would be close to dead. Most new fridges last 10-15 years now. If you go to repair them, the spares are cheap chinese knock-offs or don't work as expected. Companies dont keep spares more than 10 years. Even if we got the spares, changing gas or any pipe will cost 3k onwards. I think everyone can safely go for 2 star fridges now. And the BEE ratings last only 2 years. So 3 star today and after Dec 2024 its like 2 star fridge. 2 star becomes 1 star and 1 star has no rating. [/QUOTE]
