Join in and save energy

Did you know that currently the energy consumed by Spanish homes represents around 20% of total energy consumption*?

Energy is the main expense in many homes, and consumption is up much more this year compared to last year. Who wouldn't want to cut their consumption and save on their energy bill while also helping the planet?

Light the way to savings

Not only can LEDs help you save on lighting, they're also a very important first step. They use up to 85% less energy and last longer than halogen or incandescent bulbs*. It's also important to take full advantage of natural light and not have to resort to artificial lighting. Another pro move when it comes to saving energy is to use dimmable bulbs or smart lighting solutions so that devices are connected to your mobile, allowing you to adjust the brightness of your lighting depending on what you are doing.

*Estimated data for a home with 16 halogen or incandescent bulbs, based on a bulb usage of 3 hours per day, for around 336 days per year, at a cost of EUR 0.20 per kWh.

Decorating with curtains

Picking the right curtains to improve your home's insulation

Having thick curtains or a black-out roller blind in your bedroom helps keep the heat out in summer and keep the heat in during winter. As well as ensuring a better night's rest, this will help you maintain the temperature in your bedroom — with a direct impact on your energy savings.

Decorating with curtains

Take a sustainable approach to your meals.

These simple cooking hacks will help you cut your energy bill and spend less time in the kitchen:

- Use a burner that is the same size as the pan so that the heat doesn't escape.

- Use a pressure cooker whenever you can.You'll cook your food in half the time thanks to the pressure.

- Boil only the amount of water that you need  as it takes a lot of energy to bring it to the boil. By covering it, we can speed up the boiling process.

- Schedule one day a week to batch cook your meals for the week ahead, saving on energy as well as time!Using glass containers in the fridge means we can keep food for longer and find it more easily, which reduces time spent with the fridge door open and, as a result, the amount of energy wasted.
