Tips for managing your energy consumption

Neviweb’s highly accurate energy consumption graphs allow you to identify your biggest energy-consuming appliances and detect anomalies. Here are a few things to check to reduce your electricity bill:

Check the kilowatt-hour consumption of the least used rooms : you might find that you’re heating the guest room in the basement even though it’s always unoccupied. You could then close the door and turn down the heat in that room to reduce your electricity bill.

Check the energy consumption of your lighting fixtures in minutes: if you notice that the main bathroom light regularly stays on for more than 60 consecutive minutes, set a timer to turn it off after a selected period. Additionally, if you notice a light frequently being left on all night, create an automation to take care of this oversight for you.

Check the energy consumption of your rooms as a percentage*: If the percentage of use of a thermostat is much higher than that of a room of similar size, your room may be poorly insulated, a window may be open, or the heating system may not be powerful enough. In the latter case, change your heating system to one that consumes less energy.

* Percentages are only available for Mi-Wi devices.
