Why Saving Energy Matters – for the Environment AND Your Wallet

Saving Energy Made Easy

Saving energy doesn’t just protect the environment — it also saves you money. Even small changes in your daily routine can significantly reduce your energy consumption. Here you’ll find simple tips and smart solutions you can start using right away.

Energy-Saving Tips

Use LED Light Bulbs

LED bulbs use up to 80% less electricity than traditional incandescent bulbs and last much longer.

Choose Energy-Efficient Appliances (A+++)

Beim Neukauf auf das EU-Energielabel achten: Geräte mit A+++ sind besonders sparsam.

Switch Devices Off Completely

TVs, computers, and other electronics continue to consume power in standby mode. Use switchable power strips to cut off electricity completely.

Use Smart Thermostats and Timers

These help optimize heating schedules and ensure energy is only used when it’s really needed.

Set Your Heating Correctly

Lowering the room temperature by just 1°C can save around 6% in heating energy.

Use Refrigerators and Freezers Efficiently

Open doors only briefly, check temperatures (fridge approx. 7°C, freezer approx. -18°C), and remember to defrost regularly.

Use Eco Programs for Washing & Dishwashing

Run washing machines and dishwashers in eco mode — this saves both water and energy.

Seal Windows and Doors

Drafty windows and doors cause high heating costs. Sealing strips and simple fixes can make a big difference.
