Reduce your water and energy bills
As the Australian Winter hits, nights are getting much cooler. What does this mean for you? This means most people will tend to use their home’s heater much more frequently, and have longer hotter showers.
What can you do to reduce your water and energy bills as a result of this? A great article has just been published by YourMortgage.com.au (http://www.yourmortgage.com.au/news/put-your-bills-on-ice-this-winter/4236) with some excellent ways to reduce your water and energy bills- and save you money in the process!
If you enjoy a nice long shower on a cold winter day, you can save money and energy by installing a gas or solar hot water system in your home. Not only will your energy bill decrease, but you will also be doing your part to help reduce carbon emissions and preventing further global warming. Installing water saving shower heads can also help you to reduce your home’s water consumption significantly. Another water saving initiative in the home can be to install a dual flush toilet, meaning you use much less water on average per flush than with a single flush toilet.
Another way that you can save money this winter is by installing a gas heater in your home. As the YourMortgage.com.au article points out (http://www.yourmortgage.com.au/news/put-your-bills-on-ice-this-winter/4236) the cost of purcahsing the unit can be a little more than a standard electric heater, but they are MUCH cheaper to run in your home and produce markedly less greenhouse gas emissions than an electric heater.
