Get superior performance and cut energy use by 50% with modern, efficient TVs and computers.
How it works
Older TVs, computers and consoles keep using power even when they’re ‘off’. Older plasma or liquid-crystal display (LCD) screens also waste a lot of energy. New energy efficient models cut this standby power and use advanced LED or organic light-emitting diode (OLED) screens. This gives you great performance for a fraction of the energy use.
Who it’s best for
This is a smart upgrade for anyone who owns or uses electronic devices. Consider upgrades if you:
- need to replace technology more than 7-10 years old
- run multiple devices, consoles and computers so combined standby power adds up
- still use older technologies like plasma TVs.
How much you can save
How much it will cost
Costs range depending on the product.
Get started
-
Choose your new technology
- Pick a TV or computer monitor with a high star Energy Rating Label.
- Check running costs on the Energy Rating Calculator to compare models.
- Choose the right screen size for your space. Bigger screens use more power.
- Prioritise smart screen technologies like LED or OLED because they use less power than older plasma screens.
-
Install your new technology
- Install it yourself or hire a tradesperson.
- Recycle old electronics safely and never in your household bin. Find your nearest e-waste drop-off point at recycling near you.
-
Get the most out of your new technology
- Turn on energy-saving or eco modes on TVs, computers and consoles.
- Use a smart power board to automatically stop ‘standby power’ when they're not in use.
- Switch devices off at the wall when not in use.
