Energy Saving Tips Checklist

Wouldn't it be great to have the longest Energy Saving Tips Checklist in the world... building one tip at a time.

Different EcoHome tips are going to mean more or less savings to different homes around the world - depending on where you live, how many members of your household and the size, type and style of your home so your own experience and what has worked for you could be a great home energy efficiency tip for someone else thousands of miles away.

Not only could you be reducing your own carbon footprint but you could multiply the good that you have accomplished by adding your best energy saving tips to this checklist and help others reduce their carbon footprint too.

You can help me to help others and get as much information out there as possible that could contribute towards more households becoming more 'energy light' instead of energy heavy...

This list will grow one tip at a time... please go ahead and Add Your Tip

is your home healthier now because of the changes you have made?

Are you surprised to find that your energy efficient improvements have improved the value of your home...

Write in with your home energy saving tips and if you are the first one in with a particular tip I will attribute it to you with your name and the date you contributed - it will be there for prosperity for all your friends and family to see.

If you try a tip and it doesn't work for you - it would be really useful to know what you did and what went wrong and if you have any alternative suggestions - as you can imagine, living conditions of 25ºC hot and sunshine and -25ºC below freezing and so very cold, require totally different ways of living and different solutions to creating a healthy home environment...

- this means that there are just so many valuable tips out there...

Energy Saving Tips Checklist

• CFL Light Bulbs - Change all old style incandescent light bulbs for compact flourescent lamps CFL's - here is our article to explain more about the benefits of using Energy Efficient Light Bulbs
  

• Dripping Faucets - Stop dripping and leaking faucets and taps - it actually hurts when I hear water dripping and know that water is being lost, unused, with every drip and dribble every second. Tighten them, call the plumber, what ever you need to do to make sure water isn't wasted at your home.
  

• Low Flow Showerheads - If the force is really with you when you have a shower try installing a low flow showerhead instead and see if you can get clean with half the amount of water - imagine if everyone went low flow - wow we could all save so much water as well as the energy to heat it up!
  

• Organic Food - Support your local Farmers who grow Organic foods - look out for their more naturally grown foods and say no to chemical pesticide produced and hormone encouraged foods - look after you and help look after your local community - it's a win win tip...
  

• Turn Down the Termostat... just a little bit...I know it is easy to say... 'turn it down and put on another jumper', but it is perhaps surprising how quickly you can get used to a slightly lower temperature and that then to turn it back up would be too hot and stiffling for you.
  

• Recycled Paper - what did I read the other day... ummmmm, oh yes, that 1 ton of recycled paper saves way more than a dozen trees! now that really brought home to me the importance of searching for and using only recycled paper at home and at the office.
