This Earth Day, make a powerful choice for our planet.

At Forbes Rentals, we believe that sustainability starts at home. Renting isn’t just a convenient option – it’s also a responsible one. By choosing to rent, you’re actively contributing to the circular economy, reducing waste, and minimising the demand for raw materials used in new products. Our appliances and technology are carefully refurbished and re-rented, ensuring a longer product lifespan and less environmental impact.

Renting is a sustainable lifestyle choice that –

  • Reduces Waste: Instead of discarding old appliances, we refurbish and rehome them, keeping products out of landfills.
  • Cuts Resource Use: Fewer new products mean fewer raw materials are needed for manufacturing.
  • Energy Efficiency: Our latest energy-efficient models help lower your utility bills while reducing carbon emissions.

Small Changes, Big Impact

Embrace a more sustainable way of living. Here are a few simple energy-saving tips:

  1. Choose Energy –

    Efficient Appliances – Our range includes A-rated washing machines and dishwashers, and TVs that consume less energy.

  2. Use Eco Modes –

    Most modern appliances have eco settings to help reduce energy and water usage.

  3. Off Standby Mode –

    TVs, consoles, and chargers continue to use power when left on standby. Turn them off completely when not in use.

  4. Wash Smarter –

    Run full loads, use cold washes where possible, and switch to eco-friendly detergent sheets to cut waste and chemical use.

  5. Cook Clever –

    Use lids on pans, match pot sizes to hob rings, and cook multiple meals in the oven at once to save energy.

  6. Dishwash Responsibly –

    Only run dishwashers when full and opt for lower temperature or eco cycles.

This Earth Day, make a lifestyle choice that benefits both you and the environment. Our expert advisors can help you select the most energy-efficient appliances for your home, guiding you towards a more sustainable future.
