Savings tips for an apartment without EV or heat pump

Profile: compact apartment, no large loads

Living in an apartment without an EV or heat pump? Then Leafy Energy’s savings potential is mainly in behaviour and always-on devices.

1. Map out standby consumption

• Use the night-usage report: high night consumption indicates standby devices.
• Leafy Energy suggests tips like “use a switched power strip for your media centre”.

2. Shift laundry to off-peak hours

• Run the washing machine and dryer in the cheapest hours of the day (often midday or at night).
• Your profile has no large industrial loads, so these shifts have a relatively big impact.

3. Use electric cooking more intelligently

• Avoid cooking at full blast by default: ramp up to high, then reduce once pans are hot.
• Leafy Energy often shows that “cooking peak” hours are among your most expensive hours.

These tips are intentionally lightweight: no renovations, just behaviour changes that fit small apartments with only a few major devices.
