Energy prices are rising, and our bills are panicking. Under the pressure of this economic emergency, the energy transition is accelerating. And it starts at home, where any means are good for significantly reducing our consumption. Especially since cutting down on our needs (and covering them with clean energy) represents a huge light at the end of the tunnel. First, individually. Because long-term equipment helps free us from the financial shackles represented by heating or electricity bills. Then at the national level. Because the less we consume fossil fuels, the more energy independence our country will preserve. And ultimately at the planetary level, because this approach is beneficial for the planet. So how to save energy without living in darkness with three sweaters on? Of course, we can plan real work and equip ourselves with fewer energy consumers. But there are also cheaper and more accessible solutions. Waiting to grab the bull by the horns.

What Equipment to Choose to Reduce Heating Costs?

With 67% of energy consumption in French households, heating is a key lever for action. But since the cheapest energy is the one we don't consume, good insulation remains the foundation for lowering bills. Another important step: equip yourself with high-performance devices with the best possible efficiency ratings. Because choosing a wood stove or fireplace exceeding 80% (and pellets at 90%), a gas or pellet boiler reaching 100%, or a heat pump with COP over 4 guarantees that the energy spent will be fully used for heat production. Together, these two solutions significantly reduce energy consumption.

How to Properly Equip Yourself Betting on Renewable Energy?

Besides being good for the planet, switching to renewable fuel for heating means primarily using kilowatts that are much cheaper. 2-3 times cheaper than electricity or gas, wood or pellets are becoming increasingly relevant options as fossil fuels become scarce. What about solar panels capable of heating water (sanitary or for heating) for free, spending no euros? The same applies to photovoltaic panels that can not only cover all household electricity consumption but even exceed it, selling the surplus to EDF. Enough to live in a peaceful daily sleep, receiving positive bills where your bank account no longer loses value but is instead replenished. In this tense energy crisis situation, it makes you want to start. Right?
