Can I also sign a contract for electricity with BuitenStadEnergie?

No, unfortunately that is not possible. BuitenStadEnergie only provides sustainable heat supply and not electricity.

How can I use my heat installation (financially) sustainable?
  • The system checks every 2/3 hours whether it has to heat or cool. It can take up to 8 till 10 hours before the room temperature is adjusted to the requested temperature. If you want to go from a low temperature to a high temperature, it takes extra power. That is why we advise you to maintain the thermostat at a constant temperature;
  • Do not leave windows and doors open unnecessarily to prevent heat/cold loss;
  • Balanced ventilation on a normal/low setting reduces the flow of cold/hot outside air into your home;
  • It is important that the underfloor heating can dissipate heat properly;
  • Use tap water sparingly.
