Welcome to Smeg

Time for an Upgrade

Did you know that the kitchen is one of the most energy-intensive rooms in the home?
Choose energy efficient Smeg appliances to help lower your bills and reduce your energy consumption.

The Energy Label

What does the energy label tell me?

The energy label shows a broadly representative energy efficiency rating, as well as key environmental data depending on the type of product, like the average hourly energy consumption of an oven or the average water consumption per cycle of a dishwasher.

Across the industry, many products' energy ratings were recently rescaled downwards to encourage innovation. For example, a FAB28 fridge which was previously rated A+++ is now D-rated, but the appliance is still just as efficient as before. Read our blog post to find out more.

Which kitchen appliances have an energy label?

OvensHoods, Cookers,Fridges and FreezersWine CoolersDishwashers,Washing Machines and Washer-Dryers are all supplied with energy labels. Energy labels for each of these appliances can also be viewed on the product pages of our website. Some appliances, such as microwaves and kettles, do not have energy labels.

Ovens

Most Smeg ovens are rated A+ for energy efficiency and many include several energy-saving features, from multi-glazed doors which help insulate the cavity, to ECO modes which reduce electricity consumption when pre-heating.

Energy Saving Feature

Eco function

The ECO cooking function, available on all Smeg ovens & cookers, heats up fewer elements in the cavity, resulting in slower but more energy efficient heating that requires less electricity.

ECO Light

ECO-Light automatically turns off after a few seconds of illumination, reducing electricity use. ECO-Light can also be turned on manually if you want to check your food without opening the oven door. Available in selected Smeg ovens.

Viewing Window

Don’t waste energy by constantly opening your oven door. Instead, use an oven with a large viewing window, so you can check on your food easily. Smeg’s Dolce Stil Novo ovens with Eclipse Glass are a perfect choice.

Closed Door Grilling

Did you know that up to 50 % of heat is lost by grilling with the oven door open? With Smeg ovens & cookers, you can grill with the door closed, reducing energy consumption.

Multi Glazed Doors

The more layers your oven door has, the more heat is kept inside, and the less energy is wasted. Most Smeg ovens doors have 3 or 4 layers of thermally insulating glazing.

Fully Welded Cavity

Smeg's new Galileo range of ovens features a fully welded cavity that lets less air escape, and means that no rapid pre-heating is required.

Hobs

Induction Hobs transfer heat directly to cookware electromagnetically, making them more energy-efficient than Gas or Ceramic Hobs. Hobs don't have energy efficiency ratings, but it is worth highlighting the energy-saving features available on Smeg's Induction range.

Energy Saving Features

ECO-Logic Advanced

The ECO Logic advanced function restricts the power limit of your Smeg Induction Hob to your specification, allowing you to benefit from energy savings. Available on selected Smeg Induction Hobs.

ECO-Off

The ECO Off function shuts down a cooking zone just before the hob's timer sounds, leveraging otherwise wasted residual heat to finish cooking. Available on selected Smeg Induction Hobs.

Hoods

Many Smeg Cooker Hoods have an A+ energy rating, plus powerful extraction to quickly remove unwanted smells and steam.

Energy Saving Features

LED lighting

Long-lasting, highly energy-efficient LED lighting is featured on most Smeg hoods.

Perimeter Extraction

Noise reducing, efficient perimeter extraction panels are available on selected products in the Smeg hood range.

Cookers

All Smeg Cookers are at least A rated for energy efficiency and come with a host of energy-saving features.

Fridge Freezers

Most of our cooling range, previously awarded the top rating of A+++, is now D-rated for energy efficiency because of recent, industry-wide energy label rescaling. Rest-assured though that our fridge-freezer range is just as energy-efficient as before.

Explore the range

Energy Saving Features

No Frost

When frost builds up, the freezer has to work harder, using more energy, to stay cold. No-frost technology prevents icy build-ups, improving the energy efficiency of the appliance. Available on selected products in the Smeg cooling range. 

Holiday Mode

Holiday mode, available on some of our Fridge Freezers, switches off the fridge but keeps the freezer cold, reducing the appliance's energy usage.

Door Open Alarm

Many of the products in our cooling range are fitted with an audible and/or visual alarm which activates if doors are accidentally left open, helping to maintain the temperature inside the appliance and prevent energy wastage.

Taps

Taps don't have energy efficiency ratings, but it is worth highlighting the energy-saving features available on Smeg's range.

Explore the range

Energy Saving Features

Aerator

A tap fitted with an aerator dispenses just 6 L of water / min — 9 L less than taps without and could save you around £25 / year*².

Energy-saving Cartridge

The control lever in the middle of an ESC-equipped tap dispenses only cold water, rather than 50 % hot and 50 % cold. As a result, the boiler is not used, saving energy. Simply turn the lever to the left to get hot water. Available on selected Smeg Taps.

Water-saving Cartridge

Taps with a WSC reduce water consumption by 50%, providing enough water for cooking and cleaning. Available on selected Smeg Taps.

Smeg's To Tips for Making Savings in the Kitchen

1. Turn the Switch Off

Leaving household appliances on standby can cost around £55 / year*². Save by switching them off at the mains when not in use.

2. Time for an Upgrade

If you've had your appliance for over 10 years, chances are it's not very energy efficient. Consider upgrading to a newer, better performing model. Upgrade to one of our Iconic Smeg appliances, from small appliances to built-in appliances- find out that suits your kitchen.

3. Turn Down the Temperature

Washing your clothes at a lower temperature of 30 ° and doing one run per week less / year, can save around £28 / year*² on your energy bill. Check out our Washing range to find one that suits your needs.

4. Appliance Size Matters

It’s no surprise that the bigger your appliance, the more electricity it uses. A smaller fridge will use less energy than a larger one, even if it has the same energy rating, so choose what’s suitable for your needs. Explore our Fridge Freezer range to find one that is best for you.

5. Use what you need

We all love a cuppa, but many of us tend to overfill our kettles which can add around £11 / year*² to your electricity bill. Try a Smeg Mini Kettle with a smaller 800 mL capacity to help keep costs down.
