3 New Year’s Resolutions for a Greener Home

If you’re thinking of hiring a kitchen remodeling contractor or a general contractor for a home improvement project, why not make it a priority this year to integrate functions that protect our resources?

There are a variety of ways the home can become “greener” and more energy-efficient. Ask for help from your contractor to ensure that your contemporary kitchen remodel includes changes that can make a huge impact on the environment.

Green Resolutions for the New Year

Stop Wasting Water

There are certainly a number of things you can do to reduce the amount of water you use (and often waste) in your home. There are many ways to minimize water usage, from turning off the faucet while brushing your teeth to installing low-flow toilets. Reducing water usage in your home helps to reduce your impact on natural water systems.

Conserve Energy

Reduce energy consumption and cut down on your utility bills by improving your home’s energy efficiency. Small things can make a huge impact, such as making a habit of switching off lights when not in a room, and replacing your incandescent light bulbs with LED bulbs. Not only do LEDs last up to 25 times longer than traditional bulbs, they use only 20-25 percent of the energy.

Switch to Green Power

The ultimate objective is to have your home run on green power eventually — think about installing solar panels and a tankless hot water heater. Check if your local energy company offers renewable options (most do).
