Saving on electricity

Is your electricity bill high? You can save electricity costs in a number of ways:

Tip 1

Compare the tariffs of the energy providers every year before the expiry of your contract.

Do not get a contract that lasts for several years. This way, you can change the provider every year if you find a cheaper supplier by comparing prices.

Tip 2

You can also save electricity by buying large appliances such as refrigerators and freezers, which have a very favorable energy efficiency rating. A combined refrigerator and freezer is advantageous in this case. Individual appliances consume the entire amount of electricity despite their usually small contents.

Tip 3

Power bars should be turned off every night. This also saves a surprising amount of electricity. You should also not leave other electrical appliances in standby mode during the night. Computers, tvs, etc are all easy things to unplug. And believe it or not, they use a good amount of electricity by just being on standby mode.

Save on water

Here are the tips to save money on your water bill:

Tip 4

You can save money at home by collecting your clothes until you can get a full washing machine’s worth of clothes in there. This not only saves water, but also electricity. The same applies to dirty dishes. This means that you do not switch on the dishwasher before it is full.

It’s one of those things that will save you quite a bit in the long run as washing machines, driers, and dishwashers are some of the most inefficient appliances in your home.

Tip 5

You can also save water by showering more often instead of taking a bath. You can always take a hot bath from time to time, just for relaxation. However, when you take a bath, you should not constantly run hot water in the tub.

Other ways to save money at home

There are other ways to save money at home. These may seem like small things to you but they can have a big saving effect.

Tip 6

Save on your mobile and landline phone costs:

Instead of booking expensive rates with providers, you can also buy a prepaid card. This is especially interesting if you don’t make many calls yourself, but are usually called. You can also save money on your landline phone. In this case you can save money by choosing a cheap DSL provider.

Tip 7

Save heating costs :

If you heat with gas, as with electricity, you must compare the rates every year. This allows you to switch to a cheaper supplier.

You can also save heating costs if you ventilate properly. You can achieve this by continuing to ventilate the room. This means that you need to open your windows three or four times a day. And no more than ten minutes.

You can also save heating costs if you heat the rooms differently. The temperature in the bathroom should not exceed 23°C. In the bedroom it should not be higher than 15°C. Doors in rooms that are not used or are used less and are therefore less warm should be closed permanently.
