Combatting the Cold Without Overpaying for Electricity and Gas

  Winter is just around the corner, and many families are preparing to tackle the increase in electricity costs. With reduced hours of sunlight and dropping temperatures, winter becomes one of the seasons with the highest electricity and natural gas consumption. While this increased consumption is unavoidable, there are steps we can take to manage and potentially lower our energy bills. It's not about avoiding using light and heat altogether, but rather optimizing the energy we use to only what is necessary. Achieving energy efficiency in our homes is crucial, and one of the best ways to accomplish this is through thermal insulation paint. This paint creates a thermal bridge break on the walls where it is applied. However, using this paint alone won't fully optimize your energy usage without first reviewing your energy contracts.

Energy Tariffs

If you suspect you're overpaying for electricity and natural gas, it's worth exploring other gas and electricity tariffs that offer better prices. You can easily find the best gas and electricity tariffs using a comparison tool, which refines your search by displaying only contracts that meet your needs. This saves time compared to manually checking with each energy provider. For new construction homes or those without previous utility connections, you'll need to arrange for gas and electricity connections. Contact the energy supplier of your choice, also found through a comparison tool, pay the required fees to activate the services, and you can start using electricity within seven business days.

Why Use Thermal Paint?

Achieving savings on energy bills isn't just about finding economical tariffs; it's also about optimizing energy use. If you're not ready for extensive home renovations like thermal insulation or window replacements, thermal paint offers a simpler yet effective solution. This decorative technique, already proven effective in electric cars as discussed here, consists of a water-based acrylic base with hollow microspheres in its formulation. Once dry, this paint creates a thermal bridge break, preventing heat from entering from outside and escaping from inside to the exterior.
