Compare your heating costs against average values and find your savings potential by heating type.
Compare your current energy price with an alternative (e.g. a new rate or different energy source) and see your yearly savings potential based on your consumption.
Pro tips
- Besides the unit price, compare the base fee and contract terms too.
- Better insulation permanently lowers consumption, not just price.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I compare heating costs between energy sources?
Enter your consumption plus your current and an alternative price per kWh – you'll immediately see the potential savings from switching.
What's an average heating consumption per m²?
Well-insulated homes often use 80-120 kWh/m² per year, while older, unrenovated buildings can use well over 150 kWh/m².
Is switching heating tariffs worth it?
If the alternative price per kWh is noticeably lower than your current one, switching can meaningfully affect your yearly costs – the calculator above shows you the exact difference.
How can I cut heating costs without switching tariffs?
Proper ventilation, optimal thermostat settings, bleeding radiators, and lowering room temperature by 1°C often save a noticeable amount of energy.
