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
- Upgrade controls: Switch to better and more efficient controls.
- Position outdoor sensor: Place the outdoor sensor in the southeast for optimal performance.
- Complement electric heating: Add a heat pump to your existing electric heating system.
- Consider district heating: Compare your current heating system with the possibility of using district heating.
- Insulate the attic: Improve the insulation in your attic.
- Install solar panels: Consider installing solar panels to generate electricity.
- Get an electric car: Invest in an electric vehicle to reduce fuel costs and emissions.
- Install a smart thermostat: Use a smart thermostat to optimize temperature settings and save energy.
Value and Comfort-enhancing Measures
- Install efficient ventilation: Upgrade to a more efficient ventilation system.
- Replace or improve windows: Consider replacing old windows or improving their insulation for better energy efficiency.
- Add insulation to walls: Insulate walls for improved energy efficiency and comfort.
- Upgrade appliances: Replace old, inefficient appliances with energy-efficient models.
