It is important that we all deal better with energy. Besides saving you a lot of money, a shortage of energy can have serious consequences for society. Energy saving can therefore make an important contribution to the environment. If you also want to save energy, it is first important to make your home more energy-efficient. There are many possibilities that you can do something about yourself, but there are also things that must be done by the home owner (if you are not). Fortunately, there are various gadgets on the market today that can encourage us to use energy better. We list a few here.
Energy App
Various energy companies now have an App for your smartphone and tablet. Often you don't even have to be a customer of the company. Here you can track your consumption. It is also possible, for example, to set a saving target and to compare your consumption with previous periods and with other households. There are additional services for customers. These apps are free to download.
Smart thermostat
A Smart thermostat makes it possible to get more out of your central heating system. It is a digital energy meter that replaces the current electricity meter and gas meter. This meter has smart options, such as automatically transmitting energy consumption to the grid operator. You no longer have to provide meter readings yourself. It is also possible, for example, to control and operate the thermostat remotely.
Energy Manager
An energy manager provides insight into gas and electricity consumption. Energy managers come in the form of an app, website or computer program, but also via a device that receives the data directly from the smart meter. The more data there is in the energy manager, the more insight you have into your consumption. This way you know what costs too much energy (and therefore too much money) and where you can save.
