You should already know that a scrapping bonus of 250 euros maximum on old boilers has just been introduced by the Minister of Industry.
A new boiler consumes less than a used boiler. This bonus is an opportunity to sustainably reduce your gas consumption.
To reduce it even more and better control your energy budget, we also have our little trick.
At home, on your water heater you can normally adjust the temperature. The temperature is fixed at 70°C but you can lower it to 50-55°C. Be careful, not all water heaters are adjustable, only the most modern ones, hence the interest of the scrapping bonus to modernize quickly.
Indeed, this small adjustment will allow you to make substantial gas savings that you will see on your GDF bill at the end of the month.
The best way to save money is the solar water heater. This investment is very profitable so take advantage of the scrapping bonus to take the plunge.
