Our planet has been changing radically in the last few years due to Global Warming and Climate Change. The Arctic ice caps are being fundamentally affected by global warming. For more information on Global Warming and Climate Change, read these articles. In this post, we are looking at the three best Energy Saving Tips For Your Home.
We are aware that global warming and climate change are a reality now. Our Carbon footprint has slowly been destroying our planet. Most countries are on record looking for Alternative Energy Sources and Energy Saving Tips to reduce the need for Heating and Cooling in the home. As we know, heating and cooling the house are expensive and, for the most part, create more carbon emissions, which affect our planet.
Solar Film: First Energy Saving Tips For Your Home
Solar film is one of the best Energy Saving Tips for your home. Homes with Solar Film on the windows will reduce as much as 80% of the sun’s rays from entering the house. We will reduce the internal home temperature substantially.
Windows can allow up to 35% heat gain on hot summer days, and solar film on windows has many other benefits. Double
Not only will the Solar Film help reduce the internal temperature in the home, but the film will also improve the lifespan of carpets and furniture. Remember that the sun’s rays deteriorate the lifespan of any furniture, including leather and fabric.
Solar Shield products are available in different grades of solar reduction from 45% to 90%. The higher the value, the better the energy saving.
Install solar film to reduce heat and keep the view from the home.
Solar Power: Second Energy Saving Tips for Your Home
Now, by saying Solar Power is an excellent energy source, it saves. We are not talking about Solar Water Geysers. When the return on investment is done on a Solar Geyser, the numbers don’t make sense to save in the short term, only in the long term.
We are talking about solar power to batteries run through inverters by Solar Energy. Solar panels slowly charge the deep-cycle batteries, and the inverter converts the 12-volt battery power to 220 volts. This application can cost between R120,000 and R200,000 for a medium—to average-size home.
Direct savings are evident right from the outset. The cost could be recovered in under eight years, giving many more years of free energy.
Roof Insulation: Third Energy Saving Tips For Your Home
Several Roof Insulation products are on the market, so the choices are a matter of personal preference. However, it is essential to ensure that you install the correct Roof Insulation for your area.
As of January 2013, all new homes must be installed with SANS-compliant Ceiling Insulation products. The Western Cape has been zoned to install Ceiling Insulation, achieving an R-value of 3.70, including the ceiling and roof.
Aerolite Insulation
- AEROLITE INSULATION is one of the most popular Roof Insulation products worldwide. One of the most important reasons for this is that Aerolite has one of the best fire ratings in the world.
- Aerolite Thermal Insulation’s properties are cutting-edge. It is great for keeping a home cool in summer and warm in winter.
- Aerolite also has excellent acoustic properties. So you get an insulation product with excellent thermal insulation properties and soundproofing benefits.
- There is an Aerolite Product to suit any budget.
- The 135mm Aerolite is SANS compliant for the Western Cape region. Read our datasheet for more information on the Aerolite specifications.
Isotherm Insulation
Sadly, Isotherm is no longer SABS Approved.
Save Energy, Save Money, Live Comfortably
Homes fitted with these three energy-saving tips will save energy for many years. And because of energy savings, there will almost be no need for ESCOM power, considering its plight and the potential for massive electrical power hikes.
Other Energy Saving Tips
Isoboard Ceilings are a thermal ceiling option with impressive thermal Benefits. Double-glazed Windows significantly reduce the indoor temperature in the home and lessen the potential for air leakage.
