Winter

[millenium girl]

I live in a small studio where everything is electric. Electricity is really expensive here and last year despite pre payments of 80€ a month the annual bill was still 800€. Since heating is also electric I was wondering what I could do to reduce the costs. I'm not s home during the day but I leave the heating on a minimum because coming back to a cold apartment isn't nice and it would take too long to reach a good temperature.

What type of electrical heating do you have in your apartment?
Some baseboard electric heating is really inefficient.
Try adding plastic insulation for your windows.
I your heating is really inefficient shut those off and get some automatic space heaters.

programmable thermostat, plastic over the windows and something against the door gaps always helps

It is storage heating (it stores heat in clay bricks, then releases it during the day).

kerosene heater

while some may believe they can do this safely ,please don't try it ... you might died from carbon monoxide poisoning in your sleep... to use a kerosene heater indoors you basically have to open the window and never go to sleep and leave it on.
or naturally do what you want but im sure the device came with adequate warnings against its use in a confined space without proper ventilation
