Electricity Bills Increasing?

Paying our home electricity bills every month can be crippling especially as the electricity companies continuously raise the cost of the service

. Homeowners are now trying various ways to reduce their bills. Swapping your existing light bulbs for low watt bulbs is essential and can save up to 100.00GBP per year alone. Cutting down on the use of central heating, even by reducing it by one or two degrees can once again save you money. But by far the best way is to install solar panels. Running homes using the energy created from the sun is undoubtedly the most cost effective way to run your home. As long as there is sunshine you will have electricity. These systems can even be backed up by either a motor generator or wind turbine to enable you to have electricity 24/7.

Solar energy works by taking the energy from the sun and converting it into energy that you can use to run a family home. Energy that is made is stored in batteries and supplied to the home as and when required. Everyday household appliances such as washing machines, kettles, toasters, ovens, lights, TV's can all be operated using solar power.

Installing solar power into a home currently running on electric supplied by a company is simple. You will first need to find a local, reputable, solar power supplier. They will then come to your home, and depending on the size of the property and how many people live there they can determine how many panels you will need to run the home sufficiently. You may be advised to change electrical appliances such as kettles and ovens to gas since these take up a huge amount of power when on and light bulbs should also be changed to lower watt to reduce energy outputs.

Once they have determined how many panels you need and where they will go a battery house will need to be erected to store the batteries. This should be a cool, dry place away from dust. An investor will also need to be installed as this is what converts the energy into usable electricity.

Once installation has been completed then your home should run efficiently using solar powered energy. In some places a 'back up' generator maybe necessary or in others a small wind turbine installed which will generate a small amount of electricity when the sun goes down to supply your home with twenty four hour electricity.
