Using the air conditioner at low temperature, forgetting to turn off electrical appliances, using incandescent light bulbs… Those are some reasons why your electricity bill is always so high and the bill will be higher in the hot season. So today Loxone smart home wants to share with you 4 tips to save your electricity bill.
TIP 1: Switch off all stand-by devices
It is no secret that devices in stand-by mode consume little power, and for convenience, many leave them like that. Although they are only small power guzzlers, they shouldn’t be forgotten about. If we count the total at the end of the year, we will have a nasty surprise. This is why their power saving potential should not be underestimated.
How to save on electricity bills with this feature
With our Relay Extension, standard outlets can be intelligently controlled to disconnect power when not in use. It’s a true powerhouse that will switch the heaviest loads with ease.
TIP 2: Use the natural power
Instead of always leaving windows shut, it is better to open them every few hours for a few minutes, when you can take advantage of the weather and temperature outside. Especially if windows are opposite of each other, this can create more airflow.
After opening the windows, you should make sure, of course, that heating/cooling is turned off. Even after you’ve closed the windows again, you will be fine to leave the heat off for a short time. This is because you can take advantage of some heat that is actually stored in the walls, helping you save a little more on costs.

By implementing automation controls to the HVAC system, the HVAC system adjusts itself according to schedules and presence detection by sensors. With an automated ventilation system, consumption will remain optimal, which will help save on electricity bill.
For example: if the temperature can be lowered by ventilation, the HVAC system won’t be activated. If you want the room to automatically regulate heating/cooling once a window is opened or closed, it can be set to your liking.
In communication with the Door & Window Contact Air or the Window Handle Air, your home will notify you if a window is left open via the Loxone Smart Home App.
TIP 3: Use LED lighting fixtures
LEDs are significantly more durable and energy efficient, as they can save you up to 80% on electricity. By replacing traditional bulbs with LED ones and integrating lighting features with Loxone technology, you can obtain a much more efficient result.

We recommend using our specially developed LED lighting, from modern RGBW and WW spots to stylish pendant luminaires. All with paired control elements. You’ll find all the products you need for an intelligent and energy-saving lighting solution.
TIP 4: Lower the room temperature
Studies suggest that lowering the room temperature by 1° can save up to 10% on heating costs.

Intelligent heating control means more than just making sure that your room is always set to the optimal temperature. It also does this with the highest level possible of energy efficiency.
Even further, the system will know to lower itself when you’re not home. Then, when you return, your home will welcome you with your comfortable temperature again. All you have to do is set what times you are home or away. Your home takes care of the rest, and you save on electricity.
