When planning a new kitchen and you are including new appliances, look out for energy ratings of the appliances in question. The good news is that appliances have been getting more and more efficient in recent years. In addition to energy ratings, it also pays off to look at the functions of your new appliances. When it comes to ovens for example, NEFF has a feature called CircoTherm®, which means that you can cook three dishes on three levels at the same time without intermingling flavours. Therefore, it’s absolutely no problem to cook chocolate muffins, vegetables and a delicious seabass all at once. That means you can reduce your cooking time and electricity consumption at the same time. Lastly, don’t forget lighting: choosing the right lighting will make sure you can create the right atmosphere but also presents an opportunity to be more energy efficient.
