A good start for lowering your electricity costs is to make an active choice of electricity trading agreement. At flyttsmart.se, you can compare prices for 5 of the leading electricity companies in Sweden and sign a new deal directly. Our service is free from blacklisted electricity companies and telephone queues.
After reviewing your electricity agreement, it is time to take a closer look at how you can reduce your electricity consumption. When living in an apartment, you probably can't do much to affect the house's heating system, indoor temperature or insulation – and the cost of heating is usually included in your monthly fee or rent. What you can do, however, is to change your everyday habits.
7 smart tips to save on electricity in your apartment
Wash smartly. Only run full machines, wash at 40 degrees instead of 60 and hang the laundry instead of tumble drying.
Do the dishes smartly. Only run full machines. Do not hand wash the dishes.
Replace old appliances such as your fridge and freezer and buy energy-efficient versions. Set the refrigerator to +5ºC and the freezer to -18ºC.
Replace old incandescent bulbs with LED bulbs if you haven't already. Turn off lights that are not in use.
Unplug chargers, and don't leave TVs and other electronic devices on unnecessarily.
Boil water in a water boiler, not in a pot on the stove.
Use the microwave instead of the stove or oven whenever possible.
