We believe that making your home sustainable can increase its energy efficiency levels, increase your property value, and create a warm, comfortable environment.
In this article, we will discuss 6 ways you can improve your home’s energy efficiency and transform your living space.
Upgrade to Double or Triple Glazing
One of the most effective ways to make your home more sustainable is by installing double glazed windows and doors. Double glazing provides better insulation, reducing heat transfer and keeping your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. This could help you rely less on your central heating while benefitting from a clever and natural way to improve your home’s thermal efficiency.
At Ecovue, all our windows and doors come with advanced double or triple glazing as standard, so your home could benefit from a more comfortable temperature throughout the year.
Go Solar
Harnessing the power of the sun is a great way to make your home more sustainable. Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity, reducing your reliance on fossil fuels and lowering your energy bills. In Australia, with its abundant sunshine, solar panels are a particularly effective and cost-efficient option. By installing solar panels on your roof, you can generate clean, renewable energy for your home.
Upgrade to Energy Efficient Appliances
Another way to make your home more sustainable is by upgrading to energy-efficient appliances. It is essential to check appliances with high energy star ratings, as these are designed to consume less electricity while still providing the same level of performance. Energy-efficient appliances not only reduce your carbon footprint but also save you money on your energy bills. When shopping for new appliances, consider options like energy-efficient refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers, and air conditioners.
Improve Insulation
At Ecovue, we know how essential it is to insulate your home. Our energy-saving windows and doors are available with double or triple glazing as standard. This helps keep warm air inside while cold air is left out, which is an excellent way of saving on your energy bills. Our energy-efficient windows and doors can be upgraded to achieve above a 7-star energy rating. This could help you save plenty of money all year round.
Our energy efficiency windows and doors are available with tiny thermal chambers that help trap natural heat inside your home. This is an excellent way of saving on your energy bills so you can spend money on the things that matter to you.
Install A Flyscreen
You can upgrade your windows by adding a flyscreen. Opening your home during warmer evenings helps bring fresh air in while letting out trapped stale air. As a result, this design could help provide a natural and eco-friendly cooling system. Improve your windows with our Aluminium or Miniweave flyscreens.Â
Choose Eco Friendly Flooring
Transforming your living space doesn’t have to stop at the windows. You can also choose flooring materials such as bamboo, cork, or reclaimed wood. These materials are strong, durable, and have a smaller carbon footprint, so this could be a sustainable option for your home.
