Tips for reducing bills
- Grenoble's tap water is of a very high quality and is estimated to be 100-200 times less expensive than bottled water.
- Putting a lid on casserole dishes halves boiling times.
- Taking showers instead of baths reduces your water consumption by two thirds.
- Avoid leaving electrical appliances on standby - they can consume as much energy as a refrigerator in a year, and use power strips with switches.
- Put a sweater on before turning up the heating. One degree less represents 7% in savings. Remember to turn the heating down when you are away.
