1. Tips on How to Make Your New Home More Eco-friendly
You will have moved into a newly constructed beautiful home with a great backyard and friendly
neighbours and you are about to start a new life and have not a single renovations in the future to think
about . You are thinking about staying here until the day you die . Well , why not make it a home that
could be also lovely to the environment ? There are some easy and not so easy tips for you that will
make your house eco-friendly . Some might be just daily tasks and some might ask for a bit more energy
from your part to save a few power in your house . Keep in mind that everything counts . If you just
perform one of these simple things for a start , that is great .
First of all you should check out your home for any
leaks . And I do not indicate gas leaks ; I really hope
you already have checked that out . No , I will be
discussing air leaks . Because if there are , the air
which you pay for that should be inside the house
sips out as well as the cold air from outside will break
in and also cause your heating systems to start
working that should only waste your money also
energy . Call on a home energy auditor to check if
there are any specific possible leaks in your house
and when all of those are found just fill up them in
by using caulk for example . When this is completed
there are some other things you can think about
when making use of heating or cooling systems . You
should obviously use them as little as possible . I myself want to keep the cool air outside the house and
turn on a fire and keeping the heating system on a low energy rate .
NOTE : Always when you use the heating or cooling systems , always keep your house windows and
doors close .
When using an Air conditioner , don’t over-use it . Keep it on only if necessary and with a reasonable
degree . On a warm day , try to put down the window blinds not to let the sunlight in and turn the
cooling system down . And all applies which has filters should be cleaned out periodically ; home
appliances where the filters are stocked will work extra difficult and waste more energy . Keep them
clean .
Light is also an energy waster if you do not utilize it right . There is energy saving light bulbs in almost
every store in these days . Dimmers are also a great way to go ; sometimes you don’t need to fill up an

2. entirely room to notice where you
place your feet . Candles are also a
good way of lighting – and warming –
up a room . Just be careful .
Water should also be used sparingly .
Only load full machines in your dish –
and clothing machine , shower don’t
bath , don’t keep the water running
and turn it off while not using it .
Also there are smaller things you can
do in your everyday life , things like try
and not to peak into the oven fifteen times to see if your pie is done , and also try and use the micro
wave more when only heating stuffs . When shopping stuffs for you house , think eco-friendly like
energy saving dish washers and refrigerators and such . Adjust the temperature in your freezer and
refrigerator to about 2 to 5 °C and the freezer on about -15 . There are also plugs that can go on stand-
by by pressing a button which is a huge energy saver . Wash a few of your clothes in cold water , they
will get clean anyway . Defrost your food during the day instead of in the micro wave it will save energy .
These are just a few tips about what you can do . When shopping for equipment , always think eco-
friendly . More and more people get it done and it will help us to move in the right direction .
