Even so, do people base their purchasing decisions about fridges on
energy ratings or on other factors such as usability, design and price?


If people based their purchase solely on the energy rating there would
be no need for the rating in the first place - all fridges would be in
the top class.

A 100 year old Victorian terrace single brick construction house with a
poor energy report is still going to sell at its current price (in the
south of England) because the modern energy efficient property is £100k
more!
