How to save energy and money on heating - tips from a financial expert
According to a report by amp.infranken.de The city of Bad Kissingen and the Bavarian Consumer Center explain that consumers can save energy and money by setting their heating correctly and taking simple measures, while at the same time protecting the climate. With the following tips from the Bavarian Consumer Center's energy advice, consumers can reduce their energy costs and optimize the indoor climate.
The optimal room temperature
According to the Bavarian Consumer Center's energy advice, every degree lower in room temperature reduces energy consumption by around six percent. A temperature of 20 degrees is recommended in the living room, 18 degrees is often sufficient in the bedroom, and even 16 degrees in less used rooms. Using a programmable thermostat can help set the time and temperature.
Proper ventilation helps save money
The most important rule when ventilating during the heating season is to ventilate intermittently instead of permanently tilting windows to ensure rapid air exchange without the walls cooling down.
No furniture or curtains in front of the radiator
Radiators should not be covered by panels, furniture or curtains to ensure optimal heat output. Regular dust removal from radiators can also improve heat output.
Seal windows and exterior doors
Leaky windows and exterior doors can lead to unnecessary energy loss. Residents can test with a piece of paper to determine whether the seal needs to be replaced or readjusted.
Advice and support
The Bavarian Consumer Center's energy advice service offers provider-independent advice online, by telephone or in person. In Bad Kissingen the consultation takes place every second Thursday of the month. There is also the option of having a free energy check carried out, which is also free for low-income households.
Implementing these energy efficient measures can result in significant savings in energy costs while helping to reduce an individual's environmental footprint.
