Save this year on your gas consumption without high investments!

Many households are facing rising gas bills due to the transition to high variable prices at the end of energy contracts. While installing solar panels and a heat pump this summer would be ideal, it's financially and practically unfeasible for many.

However, waiting is not an option, so here are some tips and ideas to lower your gas bill using readily available products that are easy to install yourself, without long waiting times.

Insulation, Insulation, Insulation

Our first and quickest tip for significant savings is insulation. Here are some quick tips:

- Seal gaps and cracks in older homes with a simple foam spray.

- Check and replace worn-out weather stripping on windows and doors.

- Consider thicker curtains to keep heat inside.

- Insulate the roof and opt for thicker underfloor insulation during renovations.

- Replace a non-closing mailbox with a draft screen for energy savings.

Electric Heating as a Gas Saving Option

After optimizing insulation, there are several electric heating solutions available to reduce gas consumption, often affordable and easy to install:

Spot Heating for Sitting Areas: Place an infrared panel near the sitting area in the living room for localized additional warmth. This allows you to often lower the thermostat, resulting in significant savings.

Investment: €600-900 (DIY installation)

Savings: 150 to 200 cubic meters per year.

Home Office Heating: For remote workers, install an infrared panel in the workspace to heat only that area, allowing you to lower the thermostat elsewhere.

Investment: €300-500, depending on the solution.

Savings: 100 to 300 cubic meters, depending on the situation.

Gas-Free Living Room: For well-insulated homes, it's possible to equip the entire living room with infrared panels as the main heating source, eliminating the need for the central heating boiler.

Investment: €900-2100 (DIY installation).

Savings: 600 to 1000 cubic meters per year, depending on usage and home type.

Creating a TV Room: Save by heating only one specific space, like a TV room, with infrared panels.

Investment: €500-700 (DIY installation).

Savings: 400-600 cubic meters per year by lowering the central heating thermostat elsewhere.

Close-in or Kitchen Boiler: Upgrade to a more energy-efficient model for reduced energy consumption and increased comfort.
