- Outdated Equipment: Older systems often miss out on energy-saving features like inverter tech, smart sensors, or variable-speed motors. Upgrading can lead to better performance and lower energy use.
- Wear and Tear: Parts like motors, compressors and insulation break down over time and it makes appliances work harder and use more energy or power to do the same work.
- Lower Energy Standards: Appliances manufactured in the past were built under less stringent energy regulations. Which means, they were not required to meet the high efficiency standards of today.
- No Standby Power Management: Many older devices continuously draw power even when not in use, unlike newer ones that minimise standby consumption.
Upgrading to modern, energy-efficient appliances not only reduces electricity bills but also contributes to a greener environment.
Faulty equipment:
Faulty equipment draws more power than necessary because its components no longer operate efficiently or as designed. Here’s why:
