Advice on saving energy

We recommend that you first look at your gas consumption. These costs are higher than your electricity costs on average. Keep your windows closed as much as possible to prevent heat from escaping from your home. And turn your heating down one degree by default. You'll earn back a thick sweater in no time.

Of course! If your consumption is a lot less than your installment amount, you can change your installment amount. You can easily do this yourself in My Coolblue Energy.

Yes, insulating your home is a good step to use less gas or heat. We don't offer this service, so you can hire an installer for it.

That can add up considerably. Tip: switch off your devices completely or put your TV on standby when you're not using it.

This can have multiple reasons. Because it was colder or warmer than usual, for example. Or because the situation in your house has changed: a renovation, the purchase of energy-saving products, or a change in the size of your household. It's also possible that one of your appliances is old or broken. Pro tip: if your washing machine is 7 years old and you replace it with an energy-saving A+++ version, you can save up to € 80 per year. Don't want any surprises? Regularly check if your current consumption is in line with your installment amount.

An energy label shows how (in)efficient an appliance is. Energy labels often range from A+++ to G. Note: from March 2021, the energy labels A+++ through G have been replaced by A through G. Always look carefully at the legend accompanying the label.
