Most important measures

| SE |

Here we focus on effective measures to lower energy costs if you pay for your heating yourself.

Regulation and Adjustment

• Turn off heat in spring: Completely turn off the heat in the spring and manually restart it when you feel cold in the fall.
• Adjust temperature in non-living areas: Lower the temperature in spaces that are not part of the living area.
• Reduce temperature in living area: Lower the temperature by 1°C in the living area.
• Optimize your heat pump: Trim your heat pump for better efficiency.
• Lower temperature when away: Reduce the temperature when you are not at home.
  
  
• Decrease ventilation when away: Reduce ventilation when you are not at home.
• Review electricity prices: Regularly check and compare electricity prices.
• Switch to hourly pricing: Change from a possibly variable monthly fee to an hourly price and control heating and hot water against the price.
• Raise temperature at night/cheap electricity rates: Increase the temperature at night or during cheaper electricity rates if you have an hourly rate.
• Seal drafts: Identify and seal any drafts in your home to reduce heat loss.

Installations

1. Upgrade controls: Switch to better and more efficient controls.
2. Position outdoor sensor: Place the outdoor sensor in the southeast for optimal performance.
3. Complement electric heating: Add a heat pump to your existing electric heating system.
4. Consider district heating: Compare your current heating system with the possibility of using district heating.
5. Insulate the attic: Improve the insulation in your attic.
6. Install solar panels: Consider installing solar panels to generate electricity.
7. Get an electric car: Invest in an electric vehicle to reduce fuel costs and emissions.
8. Install a smart thermostat: Use a smart thermostat to optimize temperature settings and save energy.

Value and Comfort-enhancing Measures

1. Install efficient ventilation: Upgrade to a more efficient ventilation system.
2. Replace or improve windows: Consider replacing old windows or improving their insulation for better energy efficiency.
3. Add insulation to walls: Insulate walls for improved energy efficiency and comfort.
4. Upgrade appliances: Replace old, inefficient appliances with energy-efficient models.
