Switching to LED lighting is one of the easiest ways to make your home more energy efficient. Compared to traditional incandescent bulbs, LED lights consume less energy, which means they last longer and are less expensive to run. In addition, LED lights don't emit as much heat, which can help you save on air conditioning costs during summer.

LED lights come in a range of colours, and you can choose from a variety of styles to match your home's décor. Our team at Entire Trades can help you with the installation process and provide advice on the best lighting solutions for your home.

Energy efficient appliances use less energy than traditional appliances, which means they’re not only better for the environment but also better for your wallet. When upgrading to energy efficient appliances, look for appliances with a high star rating. The more stars an appliance has, the more energy efficient it is.

Appliances that consume a lot of energy include refrigerators, washing machines and dryers. By upgrading to energy efficient models, you can save a significant amount on your energy bills. Our team at Entire Trades can help you choose the best appliances for your home and provide installation services.

Upgrading the insulation in your home can help keep your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter, which means you’ll spend less on heating and cooling bills. Insulation also helps reduce noise pollution from outside.  

There are several types of insulation available, including fibreglass, cellulose and foam insulation. The type of insulation you choose will depend on your budget and the type of home you have. Our team at Entire Trades can assess your home and provide advice on the best insulation solutions for your home.

Installing smart tech in your home can help you save on energy bills by allowing you to have more control your home’s energy consumption. Smart tech includes devices like smart thermostats, lights and plugs.  

With a smart thermostat, you can control the temperature of your home remotely. This means you can turn on the air conditioning before you arrive home or turn it off when you leave. Smart lights allow you to turn off lights in rooms that are not being used, while smart plugs allow you to turn off appliances that are not in use.   At Entire Trades, we can help you install smart tech devices in your home and provide advice on the best devices for your needs.

If you're serious about making your home more energy efficient, consider conducting an energy audit. An energy audit is a professional assessment of your home's energy usage, which can help you identify areas where energy is being wasted and provide recommendations for how to address these issues.  

During an energy audit, a professional will typically conduct a thorough inspection of your home, including your heating and cooling systems, insulation, windows and doors, appliances and lighting. They may also use specialised equipment to measure air leakage, insulation effectiveness and other factors that impact energy efficiency.  

After the assessment, the auditor will provide you with a detailed report outlining their findings and recommendations for improvements. This can include suggestions for upgrading your insulation, replacing outdated appliances and installing more efficient lighting and heating systems.
