With rising energy prices, electricity consumption and an ever-nearing depletion of natural resources, this is the moment to discover new ways of conserving energy at home.
The use of natural light in the home is an easy way to reduce energy consumption and keep bills lower. Consider double glazed windows to let more light in.
LED lightbulbs convert more energy but emit less heat than a traditional bulb. As you use less electricity, you reduce your carbon footprint and your bills too!
It may be more expensive initially, but if you do invest in high R-value insulation, you'll save hundreds of dollars in the long term.
use your stove & oven efficiently
Ovens can be a high source of energy consumption in the home, therefore, it’s wise only to preheat when necessary, and try not to open the door frequently.
The longer your lights are turned on, the more energy they will consume and the more costly it becomes. Setting a timer is a good technique to save energy.
By learning to use different renewable energy sources or finding out how we can conserve energy, it is possible to reduce the environmental impacts of energy production.
