List of Measures

Choose the step that works best for you. You can use the voucher for any of the steps.

Are you a tenant?

You may make improvements to your home as you see fit, but certain rules apply to some modifications. Therefore, contact your landlord first to ask whether the modification you wish to make is permitted and what conditions apply. You remain responsible for the modifications, including the costs and maintenance.

Step 1: Understanding Your Home

Before you start implementing measures, it’s a good idea to know the current condition of your home. This will help you avoid spending money unnecessarily on solutions that aren’t right for your situation. You can gain insight into your home by conducting a leak check, a thermal scan, and by taking a close look at your energy usage and the appliances you use.

Do you know what areas of your home could use improvement? If so, you can move on to the next step!

Start with a free energy scan or leak check through Energiek Moerdijk. They’ll identify where your home is losing energy.

Have a thermal scan done to see where heat is escaping. Often, it's through the windows, doors, roof, or floor.

Install a CO2 monitor to gain insight into air quality and ventilation patterns.

Request a customized consultation (EPA) to get a complete picture of the options available for your specific home.

Please note! You'll need the purchase invoice and the advisory report to receive a refund.

An energy usage manager (both P1 and P4) is a small screen in the living room, an app on your phone, or a website that shows you how much gas or electricity you're using.

Sometimes it's difficult to turn a device off completely or unplug it from the outlet. In that case, you can use an energy-saving power strip between the device and the outlet. It completely turns off the standby mode.

Step 2: Small Changes, Big Savings

There are many small steps you can take. These are often inexpensive and easy to do yourself, yet they have a significant impact on your energy consumption—and therefore your energy bill. As a result, you could potentially reduce your energy bill by 15 to 20 percent. Examples of these kinds of measures include LED lighting, sealing gaps and cracks, and installing radiator wrap.

These measures serve as good preparation for the more extensive measures to come.

Replace all light bulbs with LED bulbs. Do this for both individual bulbs and those built into light fixtures (holders). This can save up to 80% on lighting energy costs.

With insulating window film, you can improve the insulation performance of single-pane and double-pane windows. You can essentially turn single-pane windows into double-pane windows, and upgrade double-pane windows to high-efficiency (HR) glass. This helps keep heat inside your home and reduces your gas consumption.

Please note! A purchase invoice is required for a refund

Do you still have single-pane windows? That means your home is losing a lot of heat. The best solution is to have the single-pane windows replaced with HR++ or triple-pane windows. But if that’s not possible, you can also keep the heat inside effectively with good curtains or special Roman shades.

Step 3: More Far-Reaching Measures

Now that your home is well prepared, you can move on to the larger-scale improvements that will yield even greater benefits in terms of energy consumption and living comfort. You can carry out these improvements yourself or have them done by one of our suppliers. These major improvements include roof, floor, and wall insulation, as well as replacing windows, window frames, and doors.

Insulation (major measures/building envelope approach)

Roof insulation helps you save a lot of energy—and therefore money. But insulating your roof isn’t just about lowering your energy bill. A well-insulated roof makes your home feel more comfortable. Minimum R-value of 3.5 [m²K/W].

Please note! You will need an invoice with 2 photos (1 before and 1 after the work was completed).

With cavity wall insulation, insulation material is sprayed into the cavity. This offers many benefits, such as a warmer home and lower energy bills.

Please note! You’ll need an invoice with 2 photos of the work performed

Insulating your floor will make your home much more comfortable. The insulation prevents cold air and moisture from rising up from the crawl space. And it helps keep the heat inside your home better. Minimum Rd value of 3.5 [m²K/W].

Please note! You will need an invoice with 2 photos (1 before and 1 after the work was completed).

Attic floor insulation is a great alternative to roof insulation. Especially if the attic isn’t used as living space, it makes sense to insulate the attic floor instead of the roof. Insulating the attic floor is actually faster because it’s easier to access. Minimum Rd value of 3.5 [m²K/w].

Please note! You will need an invoice with 2 photos (1 before and 1 after the work was completed).

You might not think about it right away, but heat also escapes through window frames and exterior doors. Insulated window frames and doors help minimize this loss. That’s why you should pay attention to the U-value of window frames and doors: the lower the U-value, the better the insulation. Maximum U-value of 1.5 W/m²K.

Is cold air coming in through your windows? Replace single- and double-pane glass with HR++ or triple-pane glass. You’ll keep the heat inside and your home will be quieter. Maximum U-value of 1.2 [W/m²K].

Please note! You will need an invoice with 2 photos (1 before and 1 after the work was completed).

When the sun shines into your home, it heats up quickly. That’s why sun protection is one of the best ways to keep your home cool. And if you use roller shutters, they’re great for keeping the cold out in the winter.

Ventilation (major measures)

Modifying the current ventilation system: this may involve making the system demand-controlled, modifying the drive, or installing a new system.

Often, your underfloor heating pump runs all the time—not just in the winter, but also in the summer. That’s a waste. In the summer and on other warm days, you don’t need underfloor heating. So there’s no need for the underfloor heating pump to be running. A pump switch ensures that your underfloor heating pump only turns on when you need heating. That saves a lot of unnecessary energy consumption.

An induction cooktop or range runs on electricity and is energy-efficient: a great alternative to your gas range. Cooking with induction is very similar to cooking with gas: you can adjust the temperature quickly. But it’s also safer than gas: the cooktop itself doesn’t get as hot, and there’s no open flame to burn yourself on.

You can use a heat pump water heater to heat water in your home. It combines all the benefits of a heat pump in a single unit. Your heat pump water heater extracts heat from the air to heat your water. This is much more energy-efficient than a standard electric water heater, so you use less energy.

With solar panels on your roof, you can generate your own sustainable electricity and save on your energy bill.

Please note! You will need an invoice with 2 photos (1 before and 1 after the work was completed).

A PVT panel combines the functions of solar panels and solar water heating collectors. PVT panels not only generate electricity but also extract heat from sunlight and ambient heat. This makes them an attractive option for homes looking to reduce their energy costs and CO₂ emissions.

Please note! You will need an invoice with 2 photos (1 before and 1 after the work was completed).

With a shower heat recovery system, you use the heat from the outgoing shower water to preheat the cold shower water. As a result, you use about 40 to 50 percent less gas or electricity when showering.

Please note! You will need an invoice with 2 photos (1 before and 1 after the work was completed).

Storing solar energy instead of feeding it into the grid: you can do that with a home battery. With a battery like this, you can use more of the electricity generated by your solar panels yourself.

Please note! You will need an invoice with 2 photos (1 before and 1 after the work was completed).

Low-temperature heating is really no different from regular heating: you heat your home just as you normally would, using radiators, convectors, or underfloor heating (or wall heating, if applicable). There is one difference: the temperature of the water flowing through your radiators or heating system is lower than you’re used to. Please note that this isn’t suitable for every home.

Please note! You will need an invoice with 2 photos (1 before and 1 after the work was completed).

Infrared panels (IR panels) can be a good choice as supplemental heating in the living room and in rooms you don’t use very often. Infrared panels are less suitable as a primary heating source, unless your home is very well insulated.

Please note! You will need an invoice with 2 photos (1 before and 1 after the work was completed).
