A salva bani?

Nerdalize va câştiga prin vânzarea spaţiului pentru centre de bază de date, proprietarii vor salva aproximativ 300 de euro pe an la căldură, iar companiile vor economisi 50% din cheltuieli.

Nu, nu vor salva (anglicism semantic). Vor economisi.

... owners will save approximately 300 euros a year on heating... 

You save money in English, but not in other languages. A salva is to save someone in the sense of rescuing, of getting someone out of danger. A native speaker of Romanian should know that.
