Energy Efficiency Tips for Winter 2025

There are lots of ways to make your home more efficient and comfortable and these energy tips might come in hand.

SEAI (Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland) help us with some really useful tips to save energy, reduce energy consumption and save during Winter 2025. Here are some of them:

Heating timers

Set the times that your heating comes on and off so that it fits with your daily routine. Radiators will continue to heat your home for some time after the heating is turned off. So try this, turn on your heating 30 minutes before you need it and turn it off 30 minutes before you don’t need it anymore.

Smart heating controls

Many homeowners are investing in smarter heating controls. These are often offered by their energy supplier. They control both time and temperature and are easily programmable to your daily and weekly routines all from your smartphone. We even offer a grant of €700 to help you finance this upgrade. Visit SEAI page on Heating Upgrade Grants for more information on how to apply.

Hot water

An immersion timer can be really useful for ensuring you have hot water only when you need it. Then keep that hot water warm with insulation or a lagging jacket on the immersion.

Set your water heating to 65 degrees celsius on your immersion heating so that you don’t waste energy by overheating water.
