4 fabulous ways to save energy and reduce your carbon footprint

In light of ‘Big Energy Saving Week’ (18th-24th January) here are 4 ways to save energy and reduce your carbon footprint.

Insulation

SIPs (structural insulated panels) significantly reduce your energy consumption year after year. A perfect solution because not only do they save energy and reduce your carbon footprint but have many more benefits.

Smart Thermostat

Smart Thermostats are one of the most useful home automation gadgets ever (in my opinion). They integrate with most smart devices and let you schedule when your heating comes on to save energy. Turn on location settings and your heating will come on when you’re on your way home. This is a fantastic way of saving energy whilst not needing to heat your home and reducing your carbon footprint.

Solar Panels

Generating your own electricity has got to be a good thing for you and the planet. It will reduce your bills and as well as your carbon footprint. Utilising the natural resource of the suns energy to generate your electricity is super satisfying. An investment that will reap the rewards for many years.

Green Energy

Green energy, also known as renewable energy, is generated by using some of Earths natural resources. This includes rain, wind, sunlight, tides and waves to generate energy. This moves us away from the more environmentally harmful methods and towards a more eco-friendly option.

Generating energy in this way produces no greenhouse gas emissions and creates less air pollution. Choosing this option helps the environment and reduces your carbon footprint at the same time.
