What is the use of better quality electrical appliances intead of normal electrical appliances?
Answers
Answer:
Currently, in a country with 25 cr. households, 31% urbanisation (Census, 2011) and a per capita income of Rs. 39,143 (CSO, 2013) approximately 1274 TWh 1 of energy is used by the residential segment which is mostly for electricity based end use and cooking. Electric appliance ownership is significantly increasing both in rural and urban households due to rise in income levels and gradual increase in reliable access. The product life of these appliances is about 10 - 15 years. Therefore, the efficiency (or inefficiency) of these products gets locked - in once they are bought. Hence, it is extremely important to ensure that the new stocks of appliances are efficient.

Hence, it is extremely important to ensure that the new stocks of appliances are efficient.The energy saving potential via the use of energy efficient appliances is significant across all the categories of appliances. Substantial and urgent efforts are required to completely realize the saving potential from improved appliance efficiency. The Integrated Energy Policy report (IEP, 2006) and the interim report of the Low Carbon Committee (LCC, 2011) of the Planning Commission have estimated a potential for electricity - use reduction of about 15 - 20% of total generation through energy efficiency.
Explanation:
ISI mark
The ISI mark is mandatory for certain products to be sold in India, such as many of the electrical appliances like switches, electric motors, wiring cables, heaters, kitchen appliances, etc., and other products like Portland cement, LPG valves, LPG cylinders, automotive tyres, etc.
