The Smarter Choice Retail Program makes it easier for all Victorian households to save on energy and water bills by making smarter choices when buying new appliances and products. Information is also available on how to recycle your old appliances and reduce waste.
Buying and using energy and water efficient appliances can save you a significant amount of money on running costs over the lifetime of the product compared to less efficient models, and you'll also be helping the environment by using less energy and water.
The program provides expert advice and information in over 400 participating stores to help you compare the running costs and environmental performance of the products you're looking to buy.
