Trying to save money, or looking for ways to save the environment? Then look no further. Here at Homematas we are kitchen (and bathroom) specialists. These are our top tips to help you save money and energy, in your kitchen.

Kitchen Repairs

Believe it or not, repairs that need undertaking in your kitchen can be costing you more money than any other room in the home! A leaky pipe can be costing you money on your water bill, as well as causing central heating system problems. Any cracks or gaps around waste pipes leading outside of your home, will also be causing a draught. As a result, you are more likely to use more heating than you need to. Consequently, we advise you to carry out any kitchen repairs you may have. You will save money in the long run from bill costs, while keeping your home stay energy efficient.

Energy Efficient Appliances

Notably, kitchens tend to use a lot of electricity. From toaster to fryers, and blenders to kettles, not to mention the large appliances. This all makes your kitchen quite an expensive room to keep running. To save money on bills, and be more efficient, you can purchase appliances that are already identified as being energy efficient. You can also make use of lower electric rates in the evening, for washing machines and dishwashers. As a result, you will save money and save wasted fuel.

Energy Efficient Lightbulbs

Using less energy than a normal lightbulb, energy saving lightbulbs can save you money and electricity. An added bonus is that they last longer too.

Insulation

Sealant around windows and door frames can wear away over time. This is especially true in the kitchen where often the external door can be found. As a result, cold air will enter your home, and you will lose heat. Make sure your kitchen is sealed and insulated to save money on energy bills.

In summary

You can save money on your energy bills by implementing any outstanding kitchen repairs. Also, using energy efficient appliances and lightbulbs can increase the efficiency of your kitchen. Finally, ensuring your kitchen is insulated can keep the heat in your home and help save money. For all your kitchen needs, contact us at Homematas today.
