- Use heat, water and electricity sparingly.
- A suitable room temperature is around 20–21 degrees Celsius. The temperature in the bedroom can be lower. A one-degree increase in temperatures means a 5% increase in heating costs.
- Do not cover the radiator and thermostat with furniture or curtains. Keep radiators clean to maximise heat transfer to the indoor air. Dusty radiators can increase the need for heating energy.
- During the heating season, air the rooms only for a short time.
- Turn off appliances and equipment after use. Do not leave them on standby.
- Replace incandescent or energy-saving light bulbs with LEDs.
- Remember to turn off the lights where you don’t need them.
- Defrost the freezer regularly.
- Clean the back of the fridge regularly. An uncleaned fridge uses more energy and can pose a fire risk in the home.
- Take advantage of the residual heat from the oven and stove for cooking.
- Preferably, wash your laundry in full loads.
- Dry your laundry outdoors if possible.
- Report a leaking tap or toilet as soon as possible.
- Keep shower times short.
- Set the thermostat of your apartment’s sauna to 70–80 degrees.
