It is starting to reach freezing temps here and my bedroom is a nice and cozy 12 degrees C right now. My gf and I look like the grandparents in Charlie and the chocolate factory because we lay on the couch under blankets the whole evening. But my heating is still off.
I pay 66 euro’s a month right now but my energy supplier suggests upping it to 192 euro’s a month, or pay a 350 euro end bill. I choose the end bill in the hope that shit will calm down soon because the amount is doable right now. Several of my coworkers pay 2-4000 euro’s for their end bill though. Needless to say, they can’t afford it.
How about you guys? Got any tips to heat the house without turning the heating on?
I’ve had the heat on relatively low to keep some temperature in the apartment and stay moderately comfortable. It’s usually around 17° inside, a bit more if someone will be in a room for longer. We’ve luckily had relatively warm weather and the apartment has lots of south facing windows which really helps too. I haven’t been too worried about cost as I know that the owner is locked in to their gas and electric rate until the end of this year. We have no idea what kind of price hike to expect in six weeks though.
