Future-Proofing your home for energy efficiency makes good financial sense. It will reduce both your carbon footprint and your energy bills.
Choosing the right insulation, heating solutions, lighting, and appliances will make your home warmer, more comfortable to live in and more attractive to potential buyers or tenants.
Tip 1:
Damp homes require more energy to heat. Reduce condensation by leaving curtains, windows and doors open during the day. Consider radiant heating as an efficient solution for a warmer, healthier home.
Tip 2:
Government funding is available through Energywise. See Energywise.govt.nz for details.
Tip 3:
Use tradesmen who have an EcoSmart accreditation and can provide environmentally-friendly services.
