Pro Tips to make your home eco-friendly

Switch to LED Lights
When compared to other light sources such as bulbs and CFL lamps, LED lights are an exceptional option of lighting and are also energy-efficient and have a long life. Though initially, LED was used mainly in household gadgets, nowadays it is widely used in many apartments in Kerala. Did you know that LED lights can last up to 10 years? Though cost wise it is a bit on the higher side, you do get the best value for your money. By switching to the use of LED lights, you are thus saving more energy and doing your part of eco-friendly living.

Make Use of Solar Energy
Solar panels are the best means to go green and reduce your electricity consumption. Though the price associated with the installation and setting-up of solar panels is considered a bit costly, your expenses over it will be soon turned into profit by means of your savings that you will be making on your electricity bills. Making use of solar panels as an alternative source of energy, helps you to lower your dependency on the electricity provider. Thereby you are wisely making use of the naturally available source of solar power and being environmentally responsible.
