What consequences?
Since July 1, the European Union has therefore imposed a new scale ranging from A to G, already in place for other household appliances since 2021. This time, energy consumption is calculated on the basis of 100 drying cycles, and no longer in annual estimate. An evolution that allows a more concrete and comparable assessment.

This reform has the direct consequence of reclassifying existing dryers. Some models previously noted A ++ are now in class E, the lowest level still authorized for sale. The devices classified F or G, considered too energy -consuming, disappear from the market.
The dryer without heat pump, which operate by condensation or evacuation, are particularly targeted: they no longer meet the minimum criteria and will no longer be marketed. These models consumed up to € 150 in electricity per year, compared to 40 to 60 € for a heat pump device, used three times a week.
Here is why the price of electricity reached its highest level this Monday
For testaches, this reform was expected. “”This new labeling corresponds better to the market: it is clearer for consumers and allows them to more easily choose an energy efficient device “declares Julie Brother, spokesperson for the organization.
By clarifying the differences between devices, the new system aims to promote more sustainable and economically advantageous long -term choices.
