Hi, old small house from 1950 here. My monthly payments had been increased from 180 EUR in 2015 for gas + elec to 1100 EUR at the peak of the crisis last year. I could not afford paying that much and as I did not know how much it would last, I went to the bank and subscribed a 12 years loan. Here is what I improved during last year, with contractors :
Thanks to those, I’m 99% self sufficient in the summer.
On my own I DIY interior isolation in the sleeping room upstairs (low cost but high comfort addition as the walls are not super cold anymore).
What I regret not doing, because too big , complex, and afraid of humidity / moisture : exterior isolation of all the walls and/or between the two layers of bricks.
Nice, was that 1100 per month or per year because that's insanely high per month.
1100 per month. To be honest we were invited to pay that insane amount by Luminus but never agreed to. We then switched to Engie. Current monthly invoice is 300, since it’s the first year with PV I don’t know what to expect. My elec and gas consumption are at zero for a few week but they still show some daily amount in the application. What is also insane is the price they buy the kWh (~10 cent) from the PV vs the price we buy the kWh (~ 40 cent?)
Monthly from the way the sentenced is phrased I would say
Great job!
