Energy saving tips for holiday home owners

Small adjustments can make a big difference to your electricity bill

With the rise in electricity prices, there is a lot of concern in society - not least among you, our holiday home owners. Here we have gathered our best tips on how you as a holiday home owner can think about keeping electricity consumption down as much as possible in your home.

Review your electricity contract and your electricity bill. Perhaps there is money to be saved by renegotiating your contract or even changing supplier?
Check ventilation, windows and insulation. Adding insulation and switching to windows with a lower insulation value can make a big difference to your electricity bill.
Ensure that all lights in the accommodation are LED lights. An LED lamp uses 4-5 times less energy than a halogen lamp and lasts up to 15,000 hours.
Insert switches and timers. To prevent unnecessary use of electricity, it can be a good idea to install switches and timers for lighting and any plant dryers, for example.
Unfreeze the freezer and make sure the back is dust-free. Ice build-up in the freezer increases energy use and reduces food storage. Also make sure that the back of the freezer is dust-free as this can also be an energy thief.
Installing a low-flow showerhead that use less water per shower. This way, you can save money and the environment.
