Apparently the sale of firewood has increased in the summer, something that has never been seen, because many people are foreseeing very difficult times in the fall and winter with energy bills, so they stockpile firewood for their fireplaces. And the one who warns is not a traitor, they point out that the next seasons will hurt the pocket.
But there are a number of inexpensive improvements you can try to lower your next electric or gas bill.
Improvements without works at home
• Light bulb replacement: Yes, this may sound silly, but it's not. Replacing light bulbs with LED uses 85% to 95% less than incandescent bulbs and lasts longer. Now, change the plug: There are smart plugs that can help you control and reduce your consumption.
• Thermal curtains: They also help to insulate against heat and cold.
• Put a ceiling fan with winter functionality: In summer you will notice it in your electricity bill (you will use less air conditioning), and in winter you will notice how your heating performance improves.
• Make your radiator hotter with a reflective panel placed behind: We assure you that you will notice it and for a low price.
• Replace your electrical appliances with others that consume less. If you have an old one, do not hesitate to include a small investment in your bill in the medium/long term. According to the OCU, refrigerators, televisions and washing machines are the devices that consume the most energy. Note: The EU has changed the energy label and there are now 7 categories, A being the most efficient option and G the least.
Improvements with few works at home
• Butt with the plasterboard. Insulate your walls, the walls of your facade, or the walls that face your neighbor's apartment, to isolate yourself not only from noise, but also from the outside temperature.
• Laminate floors serve to isolate and gain thermal comfort. There is a great variety, they are placed on top of the floor you have.
• A lot of cold seeps through the drawer of the blinds. Insulation kits are easy to install and inexpensive.
• Put a thermostat, it will help you to adjust the heating of the rooms individually. There are smarter ones that you can control from your phone.
• Install solar panels, if you have the possibility: it will help to considerably reduce energy consumption.
• Gain light by painting the ceiling with white paint with a high level of reflectance, you will see how you gain natural light during the day. You can put rugs on the floor, they help to insulate and create a very warm atmosphere. Natural fibers such as wool are always better.
