Green Home Trends: The Easy to the Extremely Hard

It is the “IN” thing nowadays. You hear just about everybody claiming they have a “green home” and exclaiming to the world how much they help the environment. We’re not really here to discuss who’s doing what but were here to list down the easiest and some high-level green home trends you can apply to your house.

1.     Update your bulbs


We all know that incandescent bulbs are already out these days. Change your standard bulbs with CFLs or LEDs. Studies have shown that you not only help the environment, you are also doing your wallet a favor.

2.     Energy-star appliances

Thinking of buying a new appliance? Then check out the ones with the “Energy Star” rating. This is one of the simplest and most practical start in going green. These appliances are not only designed to reduce carbon footprint and greenhouse emissions but also conserve energy usage. Some of these products may even mean tax rebates for your green efforts.

3.     Reuse rain water

No, you don’t need a state of the art water capture and filtration contraption for this one. Just install a rain barrel to catch all the runoff from your roof and gutters and use them in your garden or cleaning the car.

4.     Go geothermal

We are not going to produce electricity here but installing geothermal tech on your house means you will spend less on keeping your house warm during the colder seasons. Geothermal technology refers to tapping on the frost line below the ground that stays on the same temperature range all year round. It is costly but the tax incentives and the long term savings you will get will be more than enough to pay it off in the long run.

5.     Solar panels

As kids, we have always been fascinated with solar-powered calculators. Now that we are adults and because technology is moving forwards, we can now have solar-powered homes. Compared to 5-10 years before, using solar power for our homes is relatively cheaper these days. Although still not for everybody price-wise, solar energy for homes is a good way to cut electricity costs and greenhouse emissions.
