Keep your home temperature moderate. The recommended temperature is no more than 20–21°C in living areas and 18–20°C in bedrooms. Each degree lower reduces the electricity used for heating.
-
Unplug chargers when you are not using them. Devices continue to use electricity in standby mode—just a little at a time, but surprisingly much over a year.
-
Check your sauna stones every year. Stones in good condition heat the sauna faster and save electricity. Crumbling stones slow down heating and increase consumption.
-
Keep your refrigerator energy-efficient: let food cool before putting it inside, avoid unnecessary door opening, don’t overfill, set the temperature between 2–6°C, and defrost the freezer regularly.
-
Use the convection setting in your oven. Preheating is not necessary, the temperature can be about 20°C lower, and you can bake several trays at once.
-
Remember that an electric sauna heater is often the single biggest consumer of electricity in a home. Shorter sauna sessions and moderate temperatures clearly save money.
-
Choose a microwave or air fryer for small portions. They use less electricity than an oven, especially when preparing small amounts of food.
-
Boil water in an electric kettle. It is more energy-efficient than using a pot on the stove.
-
Lower your washing temperature. When the temperature rises from 20°C to 40°C or from 40°C to 60°C, electricity consumption can even double. A lower temperature can cut consumption in half.
-
After heating, most energy is used for heating water. Shorter showers are a surprisingly effective way to save electricity.
