When the Australian Winter hits, nights are getting much cooler. What does this mean for you? This means most people will tend to use their home’s heater more frequently, and have longer showers.

What can you do to reduce your water and energy bills as a result of this? A great article has just been published by Living Greener http://www.livinggreener.gov.au/energy/energy-efficiency-home with some excellent ways to reduce your water and energy bills- and save you money in the process!

If you enjoy a nice long shower on a cold winter day, you can save money and energy by installing a gas or solar hot water system in your home. Not only will your energy bill decrease, but you will also be doing your part to help reduce carbon emissions and preventing further global warming. Installing water saving shower heads can also help you to reduce your home’s water consumption significantly. Another water saving initiative in the home can be to install a dual flush toilet, meaning you use much less water on average per flush than with a single flush toilet. 

Another way that you can save money this winter is by installing a gas heater in your home. 

You may also wish to consider further environmentally-friendly initiatives, such as installing rain water tanks in your garden to utilise nature’s purest rainwater whilst reducing your water bills. Avalon Beach Plumbing can also install your rainwater tank today!
