Find out where and how much energy your home uses

As an apartment resident, you are responsible for your own electricity use and share responsibility for heating, water and building electricity through the housing company. If you live in a detached house, energy-related decisions are entirely in your hands.

  • Monitor the performance and consumption of your heating system and electrical appliances regularly. Carry out necessary maintenance and servicing.
  • Energy use can vary even between similar buildings. Learn how your home’s technical systems work and make full use of built-in automation to manage energy use efficiently.
  • Review your own energy consumption. It varies not only by season, but also by weekday and time of day. When you understand your usage patterns, you can choose the most effective saving measures.
  • Major renovations offer an opportunity to improve energy efficiency. Investing in efficiency reduces future energy and housing costs.
  • Explore available services and technical solutions that allow you to adjust your energy use according to price — without compromising comfort.
