How to reduce electricity and internet bills? Electricity and Internet bills in a house vary depending on the number of people living in it, the square metres, the area in which it is located, but above all on consumption habits and the electricity tariff or power contracted. Here are some recommendations for saving on electricity and Internet bills.

How to cut money on electricity?

When it comes to saving money on electricity bills, the following procedures are recommended:

  1. Let an expert in electricity tariffs advise you and choose the one that best suits your energy consumption. If you need to change supplier, do not hesitate to do so.
  2. Get an hourly rate: In this type of offer, the price of electricity is divided into two bands, one during the day when the cost is higher and another at night when it is lower. Without changing consumption habits, this tariff allows a saving of 10% on the electricity bill, while, if they are modified, the figure can reach 20%.
  3. Analyse the power, the electricity habit and whether the number of contracted kilowatt hours needs to be adjusted. The benefit can range from 8 euros to 60 euros.
  4. Save on heating by keeping the thermostat at a temperature of 19º / 21º. By keeping a constant temperature you avoid heat loss.
  5. Turn off the lights if you are not in the rooms and do not leave electrical appliances on stand-by.

How to save on your Internet bill?

In terms of telecommunications, if you want to take advantage of cheap internet in the home as well as benefiting from the best speed and mobile line guarantees, these tips can help you:

    • Change company, after having compared the existing tariffs on the telecommunications market. Currently, the offers of low-cost companies such as MásMóvil or Lowi may be of use to you.
    • Get a convergent tariff: these include internet, landline and television offers, all in the same pack.
    • Contract Internet with a package that does not include a landline telephone. In general, the latter are in disuse and represent an expense rather than an investment.
    • Reduce the Internet speed, depending on consumption and needs. In general, 30-50 mg of fibre optic is usually sufficient for a home where high speed is required. If you need moderate speed, switch to an ADSL connection.
