7 Must Haves For Your Environmentally Friendly Green Home
October 16, 2016

green house

Global temperatures are rising every year, so it is important to make homes as environmentally-friendly as possible. Whilst some people might think that this is a time-consuming or expensive process, the reality is that turning a house into an eco-friendly home can be extremely quick and cost effective.

Every part of the house should be inspected to make sure that it is as energy-efficient as possible and waste is kept to a minimum. Read this helpful guide about the seven most important must-haves for an environmentally friendly home.

Solar Panels

Solar panels are one of the most effective ways to make a house more eco-friendly. Western Australia is the perfect place for these panels because of the amount of the sunshine WA gets each year. Shop around to find a company that will provide solar in Perth.

Don’t just pick a company with bargain basement rates, because this is often an indication that the panels they use are low-quality, or the staff are not particularly skilled at installing the panels effectively. Remember that these panels are a long-term investment, so it is important that they are installed correctly and can be maintained easily.

Loft Insulation

Most excess heat or air conditioning escapes through the roof of the house. Using insulation is a good way to trap hot air inside the house. Have the roof inspected by an insulation firm, who will then be able to install the material in an efficient and cost-effective manner. This is a long-term investment, so don’t worry about the costs: people should start to see their heating bills drop once the installation has been completed.

Insulation can also be installed in the walls if the heating bills are not dropping sufficiently enough.

New Boiler

The boiler is one of the most important appliances in the house because it supplies hot water for everything from washing the dishes to showering in the morning before work or school. Boilers will start to deteriorate after about fifteen years. These old boilers can accumulate rust and sediment in the tanks, which can make them inefficient. The boiler should be tested to see if there are any fundamental problems, and it should be replaced if it is not working correctly. Once the boiler has been replaced, the homeowners should start to see their bills dropping as the heater works properly.

Compost Heap

A compost heap will allow people to turn vegetable cuttings and grass into useful nutrients for the garden. Using a compost heap reduces the amount of avoidable waste that a household creates.

Recycling Bins

Separate rubbish into different groups of plastic, glass and paper. The waste can then be taken to a recycling plant.

New Windows

Install new double-glazed windows to trap heat inside the house

Aircon Service

Have the aircon serviced to make sure that it is working as efficiently as possible.

Use this guide to make a house eco-friendly.
