5 tips for saving energy in winter as a company

The bar cold days are coming again. As an entrepreneur, we should certainly not tell you that the energy costs can weigh quite a bit. With a few small measures, you and your employees can still make substantial savings. With the 5 tips below, you can keep your energy bill under control, without shivering from the cold.

Tip 1 l Make sure you know your usage

At Netcom Solutions, we are still amazed at how little entrepreneurs have insight into their energy costs and bills. However, this is an important step in order to save efficiently. Map your energy consumption, detect where your money is going and where it could possibly be done with less. To save energy often not one big step is necessary, but many small ones. No idea at all about how to gain insight into your energy consumption? Enlist the help of energy experts who know the market inside out.

Tip 2 l Work with a smart thermostat

A smart thermostat may require a (small) investment, but you get that out of the box. A smart thermostat recognizes patterns and can analyze situations. In this way you get an overview of your consumption in no time and you know where the pain points lie. In this way you will find out that it is of no use to heat rooms that are not being used. In any case, set the thermostat of your heating as well. Heating continuously at full power, consumes energy and costs you a lot of money.

Tip 3 l Make your employees aware

Punishing or pointing with a pedantic finger may not work, but why not make energy saving something fun? Give an incentive to the most economical employee or the one who comes up with a golden tip. Try to get the energy conscious into the bloodstream of the company. Also try to find a pleasant working temperature for everyone.

Tip 4 l Have your boiler checked regularly

A natural gas boiler should be checked every two years. By the way, this is mandatory annually for a fuel oil boiler. Call in a recognized specialist for this. Your equipment will always function optimally, so feel free to consider it a wise investment.

Tip 5 l Have your energy bill analyzed
