Free Home Energy - 5 Top Tips

Incentive

The soaring cost of home energy fuels be they gas or electricity are a burden that most families and homeowners cannot escape. This now; no doubt leaves everyone; even more feeling the pinch as household budgets are stretched even further.

Wouldn’t it be great if free home energy existed? What would it be like to be able to escape this cost or even be refunded money from these same companies that have so long earned massive revenues from everyone in the community without exception.

Let’s explore the ways that we can actually make this happen.

1. Create Your Own Solar Power or Solar Energy


The ability to create your own energy from solar panels or solar cells is an opportunity that is overlooked by the majority of the population. Many people wrongly believe that this is very expensive or will only be applicable to a few individuals. The reality is that solar panels are now available at all price points and at all sizes to suit all budgets.

It is now also possible for you to even easily build your own solar panels without much cost.

Installing solar panels is a project that can be accomplished very cheaply and quickly.

The advantages of your own solar panels are:

· Self build solar panels are inexpensive

· Self build solar panels can be installed very quickly

· Solar panels are very robust

· Solar panels require little or no maintenance

· Solar panels last upwards of 25 years

· You can generate your own electricity whenever it is daylight


2. Create Your Own Wind Power or Wind Energy


Generating electricity from the power of the wind is another method which is generally overlooked by the majority of the population. Large corporations and power companies are looking to this method whenever possible but the majority assume that this must be a major cost. The reality is that it is quite easy and a very cost effective method to implement.

Installing a wind turbine or wind generator is another project which can be accomplished very quickly and with little cost.

The advantages of your own wind turbine are:

· Self build wind turbines are inexpensive

· Self build wind turbines can be installed very quickly

· Wind turbines can generate power for your home 24 hours a day.


3. Earn Revenue by Selling Excess Capacity


If you are not at home the chances are that you will not be consuming any energy at all. There are two options available to you for the energy that you can still be generating.

· You can store the energy to utilise it later

· You can sell the energy back to the power companies

Wouldn’t it be amazing to watch your power meter spinning backwards and actually earning you money!


4. Reduce Energy Waste


This should go without saying; if you waste energy it is going to cost you more.
Many people are not aware how much energy they could be saving if they reduced their wastage.

· Insulate wherever possible

· Use energy efficient boilers on central heating systems

· Ensure windows are fitted with double glazing

· Ensure doors and windows are not letting in drafts.


5. Become More Energy Efficient


This is can be achieved in a number of ways:

· Many new appliances now have advanced energy saving features built in but check older appliances or consider replacing them with more energy efficient models.

· Fit and use thermostats and timers on central heating systems.

· Use timers wherever possible to ensure that appliances and electricity are switched off when there is no one home.

· Reduce the temperature of your central heating system

· Reduce the temperature of your wash cycle


Summary

Saving energy is a must for everyone at the moment with the rising cost of fuels but being able to actually create your own energy by becoming greener and actually reducing your carbon footprint which helps protect the environment for our future generations must be a worthwhile goal for everyone.
