❄ Winter is here (at least in the northern part of the hemisphere), and it often brings along higher energy bills... ⚡
But don't worry!
We have compiled some smart nudging tips to help you keep your home energy consumption in check!
We also have a surprise for all the Swedish speakers 🇸🇪 🤔
1. Place Reminder Notes
Keep placing friendly reminder notes in strategic places around the house, like on the fridge, near light switches, or on the thermostat, to encourage energy-saving actions like turning off lights when leaving a room or setting the thermostat to a lower temperature.
2. Reward System
Maintain a personal reward system for adhering to energy-saving habits. For example, reward yourself if you manage to reduce your energy bill by a certain percentage.
3. Use timers and smart devices
install timers or smart devices that automatically turn off lights and appliances when not in use, reducing unnecessary energy consumption.
4. Shift Usage to off-peak Hours
Use an app or a gadget that provides real-time feedback on energy prices. This can help you shift your energy usage to off-peak hours when prices are lower, saving you money and reducing strain on the grid.
5. Track Energy Automatically
Consider using a simple app or a smart home system that automatically tracks energy usage. This removes the daily effort of manual tracking and provides a clearer picture of your consumption patterns.
6. Choose the Right Energy Provider
Consider switching to an energy provider that offers nudging features like peer comparisons. This can motivate you to reduce usage by showing how you fare against similar households.
