5 ingenious tips – save energy in autumn

 

Hello autumn, hello cozy days and hello energy saving mode! As the leaves change color and the temperatures slowly drop, there's no better time to be smart about saving energy while creating a warm and inviting atmosphere in your home. Here are five genius tips to help you minimize energy consumption this autumn season.

 

Tip 1: Warm clothing and clever furniture placement

It's time to get the cozy sweaters and wool socks out of the closet! Instead of turning the heat on full blast, you can wrap up in warm clothes and cozy up in blankets. But that's not all: consider cleverly placing your furniture to minimize drafts. Large pieces of furniture against exterior walls act as insulation and keep the cold out.

 

Tip 2: Smart thermostats

Ever thought that you could perfectly adjust the temperature of your home without even setting foot outside the door? The solution is smart thermostats! These little helpers allow you to program and adjust the temperature in your home even when you're away. This way, you'll only heat your home when you really need it - a smart way to save energy in the fall.

 

Tip 3: Use water as a heat accumulator

Hot showers and relaxing baths are especially tempting in autumn, aren't they? Why not use the warm water twice? Leave the hot water in the sink after showering to warm the surrounding air. Sounds unusual, but it really works! Your bathroom becomes a cozy retreat without having to turn up the heat.

 

Tip 4: Cooking together for warmth and conviviality

The autumn season invites you to activate the kitchen and prepare delicious food ideas. Take this opportunity to cook together with family or friends. The stove and oven not only provide warmth, but also create a convivial atmosphere. By the way, you save energy by preparing meals for several days.

Tip 5: Autumn lighting with economy factor

Warm lighting can work wonders when it comes to creating a cozy mood. Replace glaring lights with soft lamps, candles or even fairy lights. These not only create a cozy atmosphere, but also use less energy than traditional light bulbs. How nice, autumn does not automatically mean an increase in your energy bill.
