Making Eco-changes

It's not just new-builds with hi-tech modern features that can be eco-homes....
You can make some easy changes to make your home more energy efficient and save some money into the bargain!
So next time you are decorating or making any home improvements - think eco...
  • use locally sourced or supplied building materials - and local tradesmen
  • ask your builder to reduce his building waste and recycle where possible
  • make sure your boiler has been serviced - or even upgrade it
  • lower the thermostat - even a few degrees = savings
  • swap to energy saving lightbuulbs as they need replacing
  • Recycle furniture - think ebay and charity shops
  • use heavy fabrics with a good lining for curtains -cut out the drafts and reduce the heating costs
  • draught excluders are becoming trendy - so get one before the winter!
