A small change that cut my energy bills

See how one small change lowered my electricity bills. How did I do it?

I studied my electricity usage profile and the way I use the devices in my home. After that analysis I decided that changing a few habits and switching from the G11 tariff to G13 (Polish electricity tariffs) would let me save on energy.

The G13 tariff splits the day into three time zones, each with a different energy rate. Thanks to that I can match the schedule of my devices to the cheapest hours of the day. It works well for people who do not mind planning when devices run and adjusting to those changes.

Now I check my energy use regularly and change the device schedules to bring the costs down even further.

This analysis started with metering the circuits in the switchboard — if you want to begin with the same step, I do this kind of installation as part of TECH.WILDE.
