Going Green – Tips to Save Energy and Money
February 22, 2017

energy-saving

It’s great that more people are aware of how important it is to go green at home and look for green ways to save energy and money. Fortunately, there are many ways that most of us can go green at which is good for the planet as well as ourselves in many ways.

However, while it’s great that there are so many people taking an interest in going green, there are still many more things that we could be doing to use less energy, reduce the pressure our lives place on the planet and, of course, save ourselves money which we can use for other things! Here are three ways that you can go green at home!

Window Tinting – Reduce Your Energy Bills

Just as window tinting is a great way to make your car cooler, so too is it a great way to make your home cooler in summer. Commercial window tinting in Perth is very popular among local homeowners because it helps them save money on their energy bills by cooling the temperature inside. It does this by minimising the sunlight entering the interior of the property which reduces the heat transferred inside.

Visit www.raybanwindowtinting.com.au today for high-quality window tinting products that can help you to save money on your energy bills in summer, while also delivering privacy and protection from the sun’s harmful UV rays.

Use Smaller Appliances When Possible

Most homes, even small apartments, come with full-size kitchen appliances that represent a waste of energy when used for small meals. If you’re only preparing a meal for one or two, use smaller appliances when possible, for example, using the toaster oven instead of the large oven. This can save a significant amount of money every month and you’re sure to notice the difference in your energy bills the first month you make the switch.

What’s more, you can use other appliances, like washing machines and dishwashers, less frequently which is also a top way to reduce energy and save money on your electricity bills. The list of appliances that you could use smaller versions of (or less frequently) is often comprehensive and offers you plenty of ways to go green and save.

Take Shorter Showers

We all love a good shower, but showers take up a substantial portion of most household’s water usage and could be reduced in most cases. A three-minute shower is ample for most people, and allowing yourself a little longer when washing your hair is fine. By shortening shower times you’ll save:

  • Water, by using less. By shortening your shower time from five minutes to three minutes, you’ll reduce the amount of water you use for showering by 40%.
  • Electricity, by using less hot water. The same applies as above, which will help you to significantly reduce your energy bills.

There are many ways in which we can go green. As discussed here, tinting your windows to reduce the interior temperature, using smaller appliances where possible and taking short showers are all great ways to go green and save!
