- Take shorter and colder showers (if you reduce your shower time with hot water from 15 to 5 minutes, you can save 5.000 DKK/year).
- Avoid using the dryer for clothes (save 2.500 DKK/year).
- Wash your clothes less often at a lower temperature (30 degrees) (your washing machine represents 23% of your energy consumption).
- If you have a variable energy contract, then monitor when the energy is the cheapest to use.
- Completely switch off devices you don’t use (leaving them on standby represents 10 to 15% of your energy consumption) (save 1.000 DKK/year).
- Get rid of old appliances (fridge, dishwasher, etc.) that consume a lot of energy.
- Keep the heat radiator on maximum 3 (or 2 if you can tolerate the cold).
- Drive with other people – have the car full each time you use it.
