One of the biggest concerns for anyone interested in the environment is how to conserve energy, become greener and be that bit more ‘eco-friendly’ within the home. There are many ways to do all of the above, and the good news is that, by becoming greener, you can often save yourself money too. And in these tough economic times, that’s something that most of us are interested in.

As well as doing things like ensuring you have a decent bed (I would recommend Bensonsforbeds.co.uk for quality items affordable prices) so that you can save money and energy on your heating bills at night, you can make larger changes like switching to wind power to power your home.

If you are considering switching to wind power, you will be pleased to know that, as well as benefiting the environment, there are many additional benefits to you in terms of energy efficiency and money saving.

Once you have a wind turbine installed, you will soon notice that your electricity bills are significantly lower than before. After all, wind is free! You will also benefit from being paid for the electricity your wind turbine generates with special tariffs. And any electricity you don’t use can be exported to the nearest electricity grid. Whether you use it or not, you can be paid for it!

There’s no need to worry about what will happen if it’s a still day with no breeze either, as energy can be stored in batteries and used on calm days. So it’s a super efficient way of powering your home.

On top of all the potential money saved, using wind power for the energy in your home will reduce your carbon footprint, as there are no harmful pollutants, such as carbon dioxide, released in the producing of wind power.
