Comparison mode allows you to compare energy costs of two devices (e.g., old vs new fridge). The calculator shows annual savings and payback period - how long it takes for energy savings to cover the cost of a new appliance.
Payback period is the time needed for energy savings to cover the purchase cost of a new appliance. If a new appliance costs £2000 and saves £400 per year, the payback period is 5 years. The calculator automatically calculates this period based on the difference in energy costs and appliance price.
Yes, the calculator allows you to add standing charges which are billed regardless of energy consumption. These charges vary by country and energy provider.
