Energy Saving Tips

In light of the recent electricity tariff hike, we are sure you may find these easy energy saving tips helpful.

Water Heater Blankets

Insulated water heater blankets are a low-effort way to conserve energy. Water heaters are one of the most energy-intensive appliances in any home. By protecting and insulating the heater, less energy is required to heat and maintain the temperature of the water.

Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs

Compact fluorescent light bulbs are an alternative to incandescent bulbs and are easy, no-hassle energy saving tip. One estimate states that each fluorescent used in place of a regular bulb will prevent nearly one-half ton of carbon dioxide from being released into the atmosphere.

Fluorescent bulbs not only use a lot less energy than their traditional counterparts, they also last longer. The slightly higher up-front cost of fluorescent bulbs is more than compensated for by these significant savings.

Low Flow Faucets and Showerheads

We literally send a lot of energy down the drain every day. By overusing heated water, we waste energy. You can decrease your energy use significantly by replacing existing faucets and showerheads with water-saving low-flow alternatives.

This low-flow solution has a few other benefits. In addition to saving on energy costs and being more environmentally friendly, you can also save on your water bill and increase conservation of that important natural resource.

Additional energy saving tip: Take short showers instead of baths.
