1. Bet on LED Bulbs

The simplest and most effective change you can make is to replace incandescent or halogen bulbs with LED bulbs . Not only do these consume up to 80% less energy , but they also last much longer. Plus, they offer high-quality lighting that's ideal for any space in your home.

Silver Tip: If you have any questions about which type of LED bulbs to choose, please contact us . We can advise you and carry out the installation in your home.

2. Turn off the devices on standby

It is common to leave appliances on standby mode, but this habit can account for up to 10% of your home's electricity consumption . Use power strips with switches to disconnect several devices at once when they are not in use.

Interesting Fact: Did you know that a TV on standby can consume more energy in a year than the TV itself being on? Avoid it!

3. Take advantage of natural light

The Costa Blanca enjoys many hours of sunshine a year, so make the most of it! Open your curtains and blinds during the day to naturally illuminate your home and reduce the use of artificial lights. In addition, the sun also helps to warm your spaces in winter, reducing the need for heating.

Extra: If your windows are not efficient, you could be losing more energy than you imagine. We can help you review your installations and suggest improvements.

4. Optimize the Use of Appliances

• Wash clothes in cold water whenever possible.

• Fill the dishwasher to the maximum before starting it.

• Make sure the refrigerator is at the correct temperature ( 5°C for the refrigerator and -18°C for the freezer ).

Silver Bonus: Regular maintenance of your appliances can extend their lifespan and make them more efficient. Contact us to ensure they are working at 100%.
