The Best Green Choices You Can Make For Your Home

Most of us do our best to reduce waste. Not only is it harmful to the environment, but waste can cost us a lot of money too. Leaving lights on or running the heating when we’re not even home increases our energy bills. And excess waste destined for landfill sites does no good at all. So how can you make your home and lifestyle green and save money on your energy bills at the same time?

Turning your attention to the top of your home is an excellent place to start. This is because lots of your home’s energy can be lost through your roof. If your roof is lacking the correct level of insulation or has damaged felt and broken shingles, the hot and cool air your heating and cooling system works so hard to generate will be lost through your roof. This means your HVAC system must work so much harder to maintain a steady temperature in your home and uses much more electricity in the process. Having damage to your roof repaired and getting a roof replacement, if needed, could help you improve your home’s energy efficiency in the long term.

Solar panels are a very popular way to reduce the cost of our energy bills. They also reduce the demand on the grid, so they’re good for the environment. Using only the power of sunlight, your home can enjoy free energy from a natural, sustainable source. And with the right contract, you could even earn money by selling your excess power back to the grid. Read a guide to solar panels to find out which setup is best for your home. Next time you renovate or decorate, consider how you can save money on lighting choices inside as well.

The holidays will be here soon, and families everywhere will be getting together to enjoy some festive cheer. Everyone hopes to be jolly and enjoy these few days off work together. But sadly, at this time of year, there is a rise in accidents involving children. It can happen so easily and so quickly. The last thing you want is to spend your Christmas in the hospital. So here are a few tips to help you avoid accidents in the home this festive period:

The Tree

Lots of homes have a tree up. Many of us enjoy the scent of a real Christmas tree in the living room. However, most real trees do shed, and those needles are sharp! If you’ve got a little one crawling about, consider how you’re going to keep her from picking them up or chewing on them. Raising it up and sitting it in a tray is one solution, but if your little one can stand, chances are they may be able to knock it over. You might prefer an artificial one, or using a fireguard around it while the baby is playing in the room.

Oops! Families Make These Mistakes With Their Home When Heading On Holiday

acodeza 10/18/2016 11:41:00 AM Home , Reviews and Others 0 Comments

We are so excited about going on holiday that getting our home ready falls to the bottom of the list. But it’s so important to prepare your home so that you don’t come back to an empty property! After all, so many thieves break into properties when the owners are away. And the worst thing about it is they don’t have to try that hard. People leave doors open, or forget to close windows which allow easy access to the property. Therefore, don’t make these mistakes with your home when you are heading off on holiday!

Not double checking doors

As discussed above, so many burglars make their way into the home through doors which have not been shut properly. It means they won’t draw attention when entering your home. Therefore, to prevent making this mistake, you should double check the front and back door before leaving the house. That way, you will know that they are safely locked, and it will be harder for thieves to enter your property! And don’t forget to close windows too; leaving them wide open will increase the chances of a burglary!
