How to Remodel Your Way to a More Eco-Friendly Home



It’s great to go green! In today’s blog post, house remodeling company DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Aiken shares a few eco-friendly home improvement projects and hacks that you can use all year round.

Heat & Cool Responsibly

It’s been estimated that 50% of a home’s total energy consumption is spent on heating and cooling costs. If you want to lower your energy consumption (and consequently, your energy bills), invest in insulation for your entire home. Make sure your windows and doors are properly sealed to keep drafts out. You can also make the switch to LED lights, as these light bulbs generate less heat than their traditional counterparts.

Build a Sustainable Home

It’s worth noting that sustainability is not a trend, but rather a lifestyle. The good news is that creating a sustainable home doesn’t have to be a challenge at all. You can start with simple things such as establishing a preference for locally sourced or even upcycled materials, which you can ask your home remodeler about. There are also eco-friendly low volatile organic compound (VOC) paints and finishes that can help improve your home’s indoor air quality.

Efficiency Above All

Be mindful not just about your energy consumption, but your water consumption as well. Most bathroom remodelers offer water-efficient options for bathroom fixtures such as faucets, toilets, showers and bathtubs.
