Say hello to smart choices with big impact

AKA Hisense appliances make your home greener (and your bills lighter)

Earth Day is a special day in our headquarters. It is a perfect reminder that small, everyday choices can make a big difference – especially at home. From the way you cook and clean to how you keep food fresh, home appliances play a huge role in your energy use and carbon footprint. The good news? You can always upgrade to energy-efficient appliances. Not only are they a better choice for the planet, they are also kinder to your wallet.

Hisense is proof that sustainability can be simple. Our appliances are designed to help you save energy without sacrificing performance. Let’s take a look at how smart choices about home appliances can make your home more efficient and greener at the same time.

The hidden energy costs of your old appliances

A dishwasher, fridge and washing machine are an essential part of our modern lives, but they’re also some of the biggest energy consumers in your home. Energy use in residential buildings accounts for an average of about 11 % of global greenhouse emissions*. This includes lighting, all home appliances and heating. Although heating takes a big part of it, appliances, especially if you run older ones, represent a notable chunk.

For example, washing and drying a load every two days on average creates 232 kg of CO2 emissions each year**, just as much as driving 680 km in an average car***. And when you wash your clothes at higher temperatures or use older appliances for your laundry, this amount can double or even triple****! On the other hand, by choosing energy-efficient appliances, you can significantly reduce that number while keeping your home running smoothly.

Wash your clothes efficiently, without waste

Washing clothes shouldn't drain your power or your patience. Hisense washing machines have an outstanding A-30 % Energy Class rating. The most efficient models use 30 % less energy than standard A-rated washers, making them a smart choice for both your home and the environment. They also feature Auto Dosing, which prevents detergent overuse and make every wash as efficient as possible.

New Hisense washing machines and tumble dryers run a durable inverter motor that ensures long lasting and energy-efficient performance. Still worried about your consumption? By pairing your laundry appliances with the ConnectLife app, you can always monitor energy consumption and have full control over every euro spent on your laundry days.

Make dishwashing smart

Hisense dishwashers are designed to achieve spotlessly clean dishes while using less energy. With an A-10 % Energy Class rating, they consume 10 % less energy than standard A-rated models. On some cycles they consume as little as 0,5 kWh per cycle – the perfect choice to keep daily costs at bay. They also have a Smart Dosing system that even further reduces the cost of every cycle, as the dishwasher uses just the right amount of detergent, not a drop more.

Besides, a full dishwasher uses only 9,5 l of water – while hand washing the same amount of dishes can waste up to 100 l of water.

What about the fridge?

Your fridge runs 24/7, so efficiency is key. Some Hisense refrigerators [link to product category] come with an A Energy Class rating, making them one of the most energy-efficient options available. The key to low energy consumption is durable inverter technology, which constantly monitors conditions inside your fridge and keeps temperatures stable while reducing energy waste. Inverter technology also operates on low noise levels, which keeps the fridge quieter – an ideal option for open living spaces.

Want to keep fridge cost to a minimum? Keep it well-organized. If you overpack your fridge, airflow is disrupted and the appliance has to work harder, using more energy.

Use the air fryer for quick weeknight meals

The oven is a central part of the kitchen. However, it is also one of the main energy consumption sources. So, especially for weeknight meals, when energy costs are higher, double down with an air fryer! The Hisense air fryer is a true MVP in your kitchen – it requires no preheating, cooks faster than a traditional oven and uses significantly less electricity. Another bonus? Air frying doesn’t require any oil, which makes your meals healthier without any compromise on taste.

Trust us, while the oven is essential for your Sunday roast, air fry your way through the week without any worries about high energy bills.

A few extra hacks to keep your energy bill lighter …

• If you can, unplug appliances when they’re not in use to eliminate unnecessary power consumption.
• Use eco-modes on your appliances to ensure they use the most efficient settings.
• Dial down washing temperatures. Just a few degrees less can make an impact.
• Keep dishwasher and washing machine filters clean to help them run more smoothly and use less energy.

By choosing smarter appliances and making small habit changes, you can reduce your environmental impact and enjoy lower energy bills, all without any compromise on efficiency and outstanding results.
