Stars of electrical equipments…Benefits with stars and Saving energy units with Star electric goods
The stars play a vital role in the purchase of the electronic goods. These stars are been used for many electronic goods like AC, fridge, TV’s and so on. Though the price may be high the benefit that we have in the future will be more. If once we look after for the price of the product, we have to suffer for the power bills that we get every month. The details are as follows:
The components that are used in the electronic goods are tested in the National Accreditation Board of Laboratories. The star is decided to the product based on the power that is been consumed by the electronic good. The star that is given is called as the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE). Most of the companies are concentrating on this procedure, which is there from the year 2001. The rating is given starting from one to five stars. The companies are deciding to give these star ratings even for the other electronic goods like fridge, laptops, personal computers, LCD and AC.
What is the benefit?
The power is saved by using the star rated products for example if a fridge works continuously for a day, the power that is consumed will be 5 units. If the same fridge which had 5 star rating on it consumes only 3 units. There lies the difference. Here the power that is saved per month will be 60 units. Around Rs.180 is been saved on the home based electronic goods per month. In condition of the air conditioners, the savings and the benefits will be more because the consumption of the power will be more in the AC’s. The people who use the AC in their daily activities can have the benefit with the stars. That is the reason why the 5star rated AC’s are used for the commercial usages.
Most of the people think of a budget for the purchasing of a product. The necessities of the products for each people differ from each other and this can be seen in the families where both the wife and the husband are employees. So many changes are to be done in the manufacturing of the goods according to the tastes of the customers.
What about the investment?
The cost of the electronic goods that are having the star rated will be more when compared to that of the normal goods. The price difference between the fridges that are having 4 and 5 stars will be around Rs.3000 and above only. The price range will differ from Rs.1200 to Rs.2000 based on the stars that are given to the AC’s. The market companies are saying that the difference in the price can be reduced to 7 to 10%.
