Installing EV chargers, solar battery storage systems, and solar panels can all help make your home more sustainable by reducing your reliance on fossil fuels and decreasing your carbon footprint.

Save money over time

Heat pump water heaters use less energy than a conventional water heater which may lower your energy bills and save you money over time. Heat pumps also allow you to preheat water during times of the day when power is cheaper and store the hot water for use during peak times when costs are higher.

Solar panels are a great start, but they can only generate energy when the sun is shining. That’s where a solar battery can help.

It stores unused energy from your solar panels to use at night-time, or on a cloudy day. You’re paying for even less energy from the grid, so it’s still a great way to use more of your own solar energy.

What are the main reasons someone wants a heat pump or air conditioner? It’s comfort isn’t it, you want to be able to set the temperature of the room to what you desire. You want to be able to be in control.

The reality is that 80-90% of EV charging is done at home overnight during off-peak times when electricity prices and demand on the grid is at it’s lowest. When you wake up in the morning you want there to be a fully charged EV to kick start your day and not a half-charged EV that will give you range anxiety in the middle of the day.

Why you should switch to Smart Lights and how you can save money with them.

If you don’t have it serviced you can knock off 4 to 5 years of its lifespan. I can guarantee it will perform well below what you were told it will do when you purchased it. If you have noticed an increase in your power bill, your heat pump is one of the first things you should check.

Turning off your water heater, like many other electrical appliances, can save you money each month on your bill. A small amount of heat escapes when the water heater is turned on, even though it's well insulated. Typically, this loss of energy is about 10% of your bill.

What is the actual reason to have LEDs?

If your house was built before 1990 there is a chance the wiring is a bit average. I’m not saying the work electricians did was bad, because I’m not, I have seen some excellent wiring in older houses. But with new technology and training, today’s wiring and organisation are way better than back in the day.

Well, a surge protector is an appliance or device intended to protect electrical devices from voltage spikes in alternating current (AC) circuits. Basically, it’s a powerboard or wall adapter that will prevent your electronic devices that are plugged into it from short-circuiting. You can also get surge protectors devices that are installed into the meter box for added safety.

Do I actually need fire alarms in my house? IT’S THE LAW! Yes, you are legally required to have fire alarms in the house. Especially if you are renting your house out. Why wouldn’t you want fire alarms anyway? They could literally save your life. It is required to have one on every level of your house, and an extra one near the bedrooms. If you’ve got a long house of separate wings, you’ll need one at those locations too. NOT JUST IN YOUR KITCHEN.

Are dimmable lights worth it?

If you're looking for a more energy-efficient option, dimmable LED lights are a great choice. LEDs use about 80% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs, and they last up to 25 times longer. This means that you'll save money on your energy bill in the long run by making the switch to LED lighting.

Energy Efficient Usage

Alongside the benefit of more effective heating, energy efficiency will improve. Clogged filters and faulty parts force any heating or cooling unit to work harder than necessary.

As a result, ducted heating will use more energy than it should.

But, when the parts are cleaned the power usage lessens. As a result energy bills will also lessen so you can enjoy savings on running costs throughout winter.
