Frequently asked questions
How much electricity does a flat use?
A typical flat consumes 1,500-3,000 kWh of electricity per year. A single occupant's consumption is closer to 1,500 kWh, while a family's consumption rises to 2,500-3,000 kWh.
Is it worth a flat resident's while to compare electricity contracts?
Yes, it is. Although the saving in euros is smaller than in a detached house, a spot-priced contract can still save 50-150 euros a year compared with a more expensive contract.
Which electricity contract suits a flat?
For small consumers, a spot-priced contract with a low monthly fee is the best fit. A fixed contract is a good alternative if you want a predictable bill without tracking hourly prices.
How do I save electricity in a flat?
Switch to LED bulbs, turn off devices from standby, use the most energy-efficient appliances, and schedule the washing machine and dishwasher for the night with a spot-priced contract.
Does the district heating of a block of flats affect the electricity bill?
District heating does not appear on the electricity bill - it is a separate charge. This means the choice of electricity contract only affects appliance and lighting costs, not heating.
Is spot-priced electricity a risk for a flat resident?
The risk is very small. A flat resident's consumption is so low that even during price spikes the bill rises by only a few euros. Spot-priced electricity is a safe choice for small consumers.
