Frequently Asked Questions
Q:How do older refrigerators consume more electricity over time?
Refrigerators degrade over an 8 to 10 year period due to worn magnetic door gaskets, microscopic refrigerant leaks, and mechanical compressor wear. While a new 5-Star Inverter refrigerator consumes ~200 units annually, an older 10-year model often burns 500 to 600 units annually, bleeding an extra ₹3,000+ every single year.
Q:What is Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)?
TCO calculates the complete financial cost of owning an appliance over 5 or 10 years, combining initial purchase price + annual electricity bills + maintenance and repair costs. Energy-efficient 5-Star appliances typically have a much lower TCO than cheaper 2-star or old appliances.
