Refrigerators rated for 5 Energy Stars are the most energy-efficient models in the market. These refrigerators use advanced technologies such as inverter-based compressors to reduce energy consumption without compromising on performance. Popular models such as the LG GL-D201ASCU and the Godrej RD EDGENEO 207E THI JT ST have this feature. A key feature of these models is their high-quality insulation and sealing, which help maintain the temperature inside the refrigerator with less energy. And like we mentioned previously, they also often incorporate inverter technology, allowing the compressor to operate at varying speeds depending on the cooling demand, which significantly reduces energy usage compared to traditional fixed-speed compressors. Additionally, these refrigerators often include smart features like temperature sensors and adaptive defrost, which further enhance efficiency by adapting the refrigerator's performance to its load and usage patterns. Compared to refrigerators with lower Energy Star ratings, 5-star models can offer significant cost savings in the long run due to their lower energy consumption. While these models might have a higher upfront cost, the energy savings over the lifetime of the appliance can more than offset this initial investment. This is especially true if you plan to use the refrigerator for more than 5-7 years. And refrigerators typically feature a 10-year warranty for the compressor. Furthermore, choosing a 5-star rated refrigerator also contributes to environmental sustainability by reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with energy production. For those prioritising energy efficiency, long-term savings, and environmental impact, a 5-star rated refrigerator is an excellent choice.
