Saving energy is probably the most common phrase of the year. Because of rising gas and electricity prices, many people are looking for ways to be more energy efficient.
1. Bath or shower
It is always nice to take a relaxing bath. Unfortunately, in these times it is not at all economical to take a bath. A bath requires twice as much water as a shower. As a result, taking a shower is much more economical. Of course, you can take a bath together, but for real savings, it is better to shower!
2. Short shower
Then take a shower instead of a bath to save even more. Taking short showers is an option. A shower uses about 6 litres of water per minute. It is recommended to shower for 5 minutes. This is easy to time by listening to music, for example.
3. Energy-saving shower head
Depending on the shower head, you can save even more. On average, a saving shower head and 5 minutes costs about 40 cents. If you shower 7 days a week, you consume about 2.80 euros. With an ordinary showerhead, this would be 4 times as much.

4. Thermostatic faucet
A thermostatic tap ensures that you instantly have the perfect temperature in the shower. So you don’t lose too much water while searching for the right temperature. This tap saves an average of 1,000 litres of water a year.
5. Energy-saving solar water heater
By installing a solar water heater, you reduce your consumption by half a year. This is because the solar boiler takes energy from the sun and converts it into hot water. Since this solar boiler emits less CO2, you ensure that you not only save energy, but that it is also good for the environment.
6. Insulating bathtub
By insulating your bath, you ensure that heat does not leave the bath directly. There are several ways to insulate your bath yourself on the internet. So for the do-it-yourselfers among us. Here is a new project to start with.
