With the inflationary period and energy sobriety, reducing your electricity bill seems necessary.

Thus, by heating less, you can make good savings on your electricity bill. But to keep the heat in your hearth, there are alternatives . For example, close shutters and curtains at night. Just like letting the sun come in during the day to heat the rooms.
