Insulating your home

A home that is drafty or poorly isolated is difficult to heat. If your heating bills are higher than they should be, then insulating your home can be a worthwhile investment. There are different types of insulation you can try depending on the way your home is built, so it’s worth conducting a thorough investigation to determine which methods are suitable.

Conserve water

Do you enjoy a long shower in the morning? While a long, hot shower can be a nice feeling, it could be draining your water – leading to costly monthly bills and being wasteful to the environment. Water conservation is a growing issue in the US, so you should think about doing your part by installing a water saving shower head. Your local plumbing service could help install these devices as well as water tanks which are designed to store and collect rainwater. Aim to reduce your shower time to two minutes, or at least under five – it could significantly reduce your water bills and help the environment too!

Save on Electricity

If you’re not already using energy-saving lightbulbs, consider making the switch now. It’s an easy fix that could reduce your monthly energy bills, while also producing less wasteful energy for the environment. There will be an initial cost to your new lightbulbs, but this can be recovered in the long run through reduced electricity bills. Remember to recycle unwanted lightbulbs too, instead of throwing them in the trash.

In some locations, you can choose your electric company or light company and compare plans to find the best electricity rate for your home. You can check your area by just typing in a simple query search such as cheap electricity in houston to see what comes up. Be sure to learn as much as you can about an electricity provider before you make the switch.

Invest in a smart home system

Smart home systems are becoming increasingly popular, with Google and Apple recently launching their smart home systems that link up to the rest of your devices. A smart home system lets you control your lighting, heating and other household appliances, meaning you’ll never have to worry about leaving a light on or programming your heater. Take a look at the available options to help you decide which system is best for you. A smart home is one way to be more energy efficient, helping you save money while also making your home greener.

 

No matter what your home goals are, a more energy efficient home is something that everyone should strive for to save money and to help the environment. Give some thought to which home improvements could help reduce your financial outgoings and get started on the work. While adding value to your home is great for its future, it’s also important that you think about the present to help you get the most value from your home right now.
