Being energy efficient<\/strong> in our home brings many benefits<\/strong>, not only for our personal economy, but also for the environment and our health.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Economic savings<\/strong>: the increasing price of electricity, gas and fuel is a significant economic burden on the monthly expenditure of any household. In order to reduce monthly bills, it is necessary to carry out practices that lead to a reduction in their use.<\/li>\n
  2. Improved quality of life<\/strong>: in addition to reducing the cost of energy invoices, energy efficiency makes the home a more comfortable space: well insulated, with a constant temperature, less humidity and better air quality.<\/li>\n
  3. Environmental sustainability<\/strong>: the burning of fossil fuels needed to create energy has, among other negative effects on the environment, the emission of greenhouse gases. Saving energy or substituting it for other renewable sources reduces these polluting sources, improving the quality of the air we breathe and protecting the environment.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Here are some tips to save energy in your home.<\/p>\n

    Take note!<\/p>\n

    \u25ba THERMAL INSULATION<\/h2>\n

    Good thermal insulation<\/strong> of the home is essential to prevent heat loss in winter.<\/p>\n

    Aluminum<\/strong> doors and windows with double or triple glazing<\/strong> guarantee total insulation from the outside. If you cannot change them now, avoid air leaks by sealing<\/strong> the current ones with weatherstripping or specific sealants.<\/p>\n

    The use of curtains and blinds<\/strong> also favors energy savings.<\/p>\n

    \u25ba HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES<\/h2>\n

    Appliances with the A+ energy label<\/strong> consume up to 55% less than conventional appliances.<\/p>\n

    Regulate the temperature<\/strong> of your refrigerator.<\/p>\n

    Fill household appliances<\/strong> (such as the washing machine or dishwasher) to their maximum capacity.<\/p>\n

    Use the ‘eco mode<\/strong>‘ program on your appliances.<\/p>\n

    \u25ba LIGHTING<\/h2>\n

    If you are still using conventional light bulbs, replace<\/strong> them with energy-saving<\/strong> ones. Using LED bulbs<\/strong> means an energy saving of 80%, besides being much more durable.<\/p>\n

    Make<\/strong> the most<\/strong> of natural light<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
