The Danes prioritize comfort, and it may cost money

According to a new study prepared by German tado°, the leading supplier of solutions for climate and energy management in the home, compared to the Swedes, the Dutch, the English, the Italians, the Spanish and the French, the Danes are the consumers who are the least concerned about the still high energy prices.

As many as 25 percent of the Danes in the survey express that energy prices do not worry them.

The Danes are also the consumers who, according to the survey, are the least willing to lower the temperature to achieve savings, only every fifth Danish tado° customer has lowered the temperature to save on the heating bill, while our Swedish neighbors are much more focused on achieving savings , here almost 60% of consumers have adjusted the heat down to save money.

The Danes want to have a good time, whatever the cost

Although with the intelligent energy management solutions from tado° you can easily save up to 22% on your heating bill, savings are not the primary reason why Danes invest in intelligent heating management, it is rather convenience (40%) and the possibility of being able to manage and plan your energy consumption (36%).

With an energy management solution from tado°, you get the opportunity to control the temperature in your home anywhere and anytime via an app or via voice with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple HomeKit. And the Danes’ favorite feature is also Smart Schedule, which gives the opportunity to set up a plan for the heating control in the home, so that, for example, the heat is first turned up when you have to get up, and that the heat is, conversely, lowered when everyone in the household lie under their warm covers and sleep.

Another of the Danes’ favorite features is Geofencing, which is quite simply a feature that ensures that the temperature in the home is turned down when everyone has left the home, and that it is increased again when, for example, you are on your way home from work or school. This ensures that there is always a comfortable temperature in the home when someone is at home, and that there is no unnecessary heating and thus unnecessary amounts of CO2 are emitted when the home is empty.

Here, the Danes expect to reduce their CO2 impact

When the Danes are asked what else they expect to do to reduce their CO2 footprint in the future, just under 20% answer that they plan to insulate windows, roofs or walls, while just under 25% intend to purchase an electric car . A small 20% want to install solar panels.

Regardless of the reasons the Danes in the survey had for acquiring an energy management solution from tado°, a full 70% express that they have been surprised by the benefits of installing intelligent thermostats and that they wish they had acquired them earlier. 80% of users are so satisfied that they will recommend the many benefits to friends and family.
