What is Wasting Your Electricity in Spain?

Some appliances use far more power than you might expect. Identifying these 'wasters' is the first step to a cheaper bill.

Old Electric Boilers

Non-inverter, non-timer boilers are the #1 cause of bill shock in Spanish apartments.

Leaving AC at 20°C

Forcing an AC unit to work against a 35°C heatwave to reach an impossible 20°C temperature wastes massive amounts of energy.

Pro Tip: Use a Smart Plug

A simple €10 smart plug can monitor the consumption of these 'wasters' and even turn them off automatically during peak price hours.
