Do not hinder heat output from the radiators

To ensure that the heat can spread unhindered throughout the room during the day, the radiators must not be blocked by curtains or furniture. If the heat release into the room is hindered, more energy is lost through external walls.

Shock ventilation instead of tilted windows

Continuous ventilation through tilted windows wastes energy and promotes mold formation by cooling the window reveals. Therefore, ventilate briefly but vigorously several times a day with the windows wide open.

Lower the room temperature at night and when you are away for a long time

At least lower the temperature at night to save energy without any loss of comfort. In the cold season, the shutters should be lowered at night. Doors between heated and unheated rooms should be closed to prevent mold from forming.

Avoid standby losses

Older consumer electronics devices use unnecessary power in standby mode. The devices should be switched off after use. A power strip with a switch completely disconnects the devices from the mains with one click.

Defrost refrigerators and freezers regularly

With icing of just 5 millimeters, power consumption increases significantly. Also, only open the appliances briefly and do not put warm food in them.

The energy advisors at the consumer advice center provide further tips on saving energy without sacrificing comfort as well as advice on the topics of thermal insulation and heating replacement.
