Make
your holiday home more cost effective
No
matter how much we enjoy work there comes in time in most of our lives when we
start to make plans for retirement, for some it can’t come soon enough, whereas
others are quite happy to continue to a reasonable age. There lies the rub, what
constitutes a reasonable age?
But
seriously, that shouldn’t deter home owners in warmer climes from looking at ways
to curb wasting water and energy. If saving the environment doesn’t give you a
warm fuzzy feeling, then look at it as a way to cut your bills.
Domestic
appliances, particularly older models account for up to 16% of water used in the
home, with washer-dryers taking top position as the main offender, followed closely
by washing machines (half-loads), showers and flushing the toilet. However, there
are lots of ways to reduce the amount of water used without impairing performance.
Here are some simple ways to improve energy and water efficiency without breaking
the bank.
A
water closet that won’t waste water
Flushing
the loo can use up to 9 litres of water. But don’t panic, this can be reduced
by around 3 litres by inserting a ´hippo´ (essentially a heavy hardwearing bag)
in the cistern. Alternatively, if you plan to re-do the bathroom buy a ‘low flush’
loo.
Invigorating
yet efficient showers
Regular
shower heads can use up to 9 litres of water per minute. The obvious solution
to saving water is to take shorter showers or take less of them, none of which
are a particularly popular choice. A less intrusive approach would be to fit an
energy efficient shower head designed to regulate the flow of water. The same
theory can be applied to taps. And voila!
Dripping
taps waste cash
To
the casual observer a dripping tap is nothing more than a minor nuisance but not
particularly serious. On the contrary dripping taps can waste up to 15 litres
of water each day – water you are paying for but not using.
Energy
efficient dishwashing
It’s
more cost effective and energy efficient to use the dishwasher than wash large
quantities of dishes by hand. Music to every washer-uppers ears - end of!
Re-use
water in the garden
When
a garden needs water it isn’t fussy about where the water comes from; baths, washing
up or rinsing it’s all the same, just remember to let it cool down first. The
best time to water plants is in the morning or the evening after the sun has gone
down, preferably using a watering can instead of a hose pipe.
