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

Regulation and Adjustment

  1. Turn off heat in spring: Completely turn off the heat in the spring and manually restart it when you feel cold in the fall.
  2. Adjust temperature in non-living areas: Lower the temperature in spaces that are not part of the living area.
  3. Reduce temperature in living area: Lower the temperature by 1°C in the living area.
  4. Optimize your heat pump: Trim your heat pump for better efficiency.
  5. Lower temperature when away: Reduce the temperature when you are not at home.
  6. Decrease ventilation when away: Reduce ventilation when you are not at home.
  7. Review electricity prices: Regularly check and compare electricity prices.
  8. Switch to hourly pricing: Change from a possibly variable monthly fee to an hourly price and control heating and hot water against the price.
  9. Raise temperature at night/cheap electricity rates: Increase the temperature at night or during cheaper electricity rates if you have an hourly rate.
  10. 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.
