Boiler: adjust the settings
Default boiler settings are often higher than you need. Lower the hot water temperature to save 8% of your heating energy and cut EUR 100 off an average bill.
-
Warm air: seal it in
Close windows and doors, insulate pipes and draught-proof around windows, chimneys and other gaps to keep the warm air inside.
-
Lightbulbs: swap them out
Replace old lightbulbs with new LED ones, and only keep on the lights you need.
-
Grab a bike
Walking or cycling are great alternatives to driving for short journeys, and they help save money, cut emissions and reduce congestion.
-
Use public transport
For longer distances where walking or cycling is impractical, public transport still reduces energy use, congestion and air pollution.
-
Drive smarter
Optimise your driving style to reduce fuel consumption: drive smoothly and at lower speeds on motorways, close windows at high speeds and make sure your tires are properly inflated.
