Energy Saving at Home: Reducing Expenses and Protecting the Environment
Energy saving at home refers to reducing the consumption of resources such as electricity, water, or fuels, with the aim of both reducing household expenses and protecting the environment. Saving energy is important not only for "our pocket" but also for sustainable development.
By reducing resource consumption, we can decrease greenhouse gas emissions, reduce air and water pollution, and conserve these resources for future generations. Through energy saving with today's technology, we achieve the same or better results without compromising our quality of life or comfort.
Benefits of Energy Upgrading: Economy and Well-being
Energy saving offers multiple benefits to the household and quality of life:
- Reduced bills for electricity, gas, or oil, leading to immediate financial gain.
- Environmental protection through reduced use of natural resources.
- Improved health, for instance, when we use a low-consumption air purifier instead of an air conditioner and ventilate the space naturally.
- Increased safety and fault prevention, for instance, when we use a solar water heater instead of the classic electric water heater.
Today, serious efforts are being made worldwide to reduce energy consumption, and in Greece, for several years now, there have been programs for the energy upgrade of residences and entire buildings.

- Use of LED lamps, as they can reduce energy consumption by up to 75%.
- Switching off electrical appliances when not in use (not just stand-by), as you can reduce consumption by 10%.
- Choosing AAA+++ energy class electrical appliances. For hot water, a solar water heater is essential, providing hot water at zero cost.
- Use of an energy fireplace, which can be highly efficient in transferring heat from the fireplace to the room air or the heating system.

Significant Investments for Long-Term Benefit
For maximum energy efficiency, larger investments in the structure of the residence are required. These include:
- Energy-efficient window frames (with double/triple glazing) to minimize heat loss.
- External thermal insulation and thermal insulation on the roof terrace, especially if the residence is on the top floor.
- Photovoltaics on the roof or terrace for producing your own clean energy.
