En familj har ett onödigt varmt hem med elvärme. Vilken förändring minskar energimängden som behövs för uppvärmning?

A family’s electrically heated home is unnecessarily warm. Which change reduces the amount of energy needed for heating?

✓Sänka värmen till en lämplig nivåTurn the heating down to a suitable level
2Byta till ett elavtal med lägre prisSwitch to an electricity contract with a lower price
3Välja ett elavtal med förnybar elChoose an electricity contract with renewable electricity
4Välja svagare elradiatorer med samma rumstemperaturChoose lower-power electric radiators at the same room temperature

Correct answer: Turn the heating down to a suitable level

Reducing an unnecessarily high indoor temperature lowers the energy needed for heating. Saving energy helps households conserve resources.

Byta till ett elavtal med lägre pris

A lower electricity price can reduce cost, but does not itself reduce the energy needed for the same indoor temperature.

Välja ett elavtal med förnybar el

Choosing the origin of electricity does not itself change how much heat the house needs.

Välja svagare elradiatorer med samma rumstemperatur

Lower power can mean the radiators must run longer; at the same room temperature this does not reduce the home’s heating demand.
