Energy Coach
An energy coach can help you save energy!
An energy coach is a volunteer who has completed training at Energieloket Rivierenland. An energy coach will visit your home to help you save energy and lower your energy bills. Free and independent. They also give you tips on other ways to make your home more energy-efficient. Maybe you want to start insulating your home but aren’t sure how to go about it?

Jack de Bruijn
Who are you?
"My name is Jack de Bruijn. I am 63 years old and married. I am also the father of three daughters and the grandfather of two wonderful grandchildren. I have been living in Appeltern for over two years. Before that, I lived in Italy and Finland for 20 years, working for the European Union in the field of chemical substances legislation. I enjoy reading, gardening, and DIY, particularly woodworking and making furniture."
What advice do you have for residents?
"Insulate, insulate, and insulate! Ultimately, it’s essential—both for the environment and for your wallet—to reduce the energy consumption of our homes as much as possible. Of course, this should be done in a way that still makes your home a comfortable place to live. When it comes to insulation, good ventilation is important."
Is there anything else you’d like to share with our residents?
"Unfortunately, it appears that despite the promotional efforts of the municipality and the energy help desk, many residents are unaware that they can enlist the help of an energy coach. In addition, many people are also unaware of the wide range of subsidy options available to them. That’s a shame, because the energy coaches and the energy help desk can really help residents."
