Cheap electricity and gas companies

It makes no sense to try to implement changes in our customs or in the energy fabric of our house if we are paying more than we should for our bill. The first thing to do to start saving is to check our electricity and gas contracts and compare them with those of other companies, to check that we are not spending more for the same service. Knowing which company to choose can be difficult, so some websites, such as the one we invite you to read below, help us to know which rates are the most interesting and how to hire them: http://pueblosocial.es/.

One of the most common doubts is usually between Endesa or Iberdrola, which is better? These companies offer different types of rates, so it is difficult to give a precise answer, since there are many aspects to value. However, to the doubt between Iberdrola or Endesa, some believe they know which is better. The consumer association of the OCU (Organization of Consumers and Users) conducted a survey among its members to know what was the most interesting rate. Endesa's One Luz turned out to be more interesting than Iberdrola's Stable Plan.

Saving energy with lighting

In this section we are going to give you some tips so you can save with the lighting of your house:

• First of all, take advantage of natural lighting, as it is free. Open the blinds, use translucent curtains and place mirrors in front of the windows to double their effect.
• It strategically distributes the points of light, since some rooms have more needs than others. We do not spend the same time in all the rooms of our house, why make the same investment in lighting?
• Change incandescent bulbs for LED bulbs, since they represent a saving of between 60% and 80% of energy expenditure.
• Make sure that the lamps and projectors in your house are clean, as this will increase the brightness of the light.
• Do not forget to turn off the lights when you leave a room and try to minimize decorative lighting to the maximum.
• In rooms like the kitchen use fluorescent tubes, since they consume less and you will need that light for many hours at a time.
