1. Compare different tariffs

One of the first tips to save electricity is to make sure you have contracted the tariff that best suits your home. At Repsol, we offer a wide range of tariffs designed to adapt to the different needs of our customers. 

With expert advice, you can find out when electricity is cheapest and how to optimise your energy use

To make this process easier, at Repsol we have developed an energy tariff recommender which, after learning about your consumption habits, suggests the most suitable option for you.

2. Contract electricity and gas together 

In addition to choosing the most suitable tariff, you can benefit from significant savings by contracting electricity and gas together.  At Repsol, we have specific plans that work as an integrated solution and allow consumers to connect their energies and enjoy savings across different services

With options that include everything from your car to heating and solar energy, these plans are designed to adapt to your consumption needs and help you access the best prices.

3. Review your contracted power capacity 

The contracted power capacity is a key element that directly affects your energy bill. Make sure it matches your real usage, as contracting more power than necessary involves an additional cost. 

Thanks to our power capacity advisory service, you can identify the most suitable power capacity for your home’s consumption. 

This way, you only pay for what you really need.

4. Adapt your habits to your tariff 

Knowledge is power, especially when choosing a new electricity tariff.  If your current tariff is based on time-of-use pricing, adapting your consumption to the cheapest hours can lead to considerable savings.  To do this, check today’s hourly electricity price and use your appliances and heating during the times when energy is cheaper. 

You can also discover on our blog when it is better to switch the light off and on, or leave it on.

5. Run washing appliances only when full 

This is one of the most effective and simple ways to save electricity.  To make the most of every use of the washing machine, dishwasher or dryer, make sure they are full before switching them on. 

This will not only save energy, but also extend the useful life of your appliances.

6. Check your home’s insulation 

Having a well-insulated home is essential to keep it warm in winter and cool in summer without incurring excessive costs. 

Do not forget that checking and improving the insulation of windows, doors and walls can significantly reduce the need for heating and air conditioning.

7. Adjust the water heater temperature 

A water heater set to a higher temperature than necessary is not only inefficient, but can also increase your bill. 

This is especially important in summer and winter. In summer, you usually do not need the water temperature to be so high, while in winter you may need to increase it slightly. 

This is another energy-saving tip that can be very useful.

8. Check your radiators 

In addition to carrying out proper boiler maintenance to make sure your radiators work optimally, regular checks are essential.  These include bleeding the radiators at the start of the heating season to remove trapped air that prevents heat from being distributed evenly. 

You should also check for leaks and make sure the system pressure is correct.  Cleaning dust from the radiator fins and making sure they are not blocked by furniture also improves efficiency.

These simple actions will help you maintain an efficient heating system and save on electricity and gas.  Without a doubt, applying these tips to save gas and electricity at home can make a substantial difference to your energy consumption and household budget.  Remember that small actions add up to big savings. And when you are well informed, you have the knowledge to take the first step and make smart decisions about your home energy use.
