Five Money Saving Eco Friendly Products

There are many eco friendly products out there that claim to save money as well as helping the environment but it is impossible to buy, or try them all to discover their real benefits. Many eco products claim they save money but unless you get a return on your investment of the original cost price, you are losing money.

To make things easier, here are five tried and tested products that will definitely save you money and pay for themselves in the long run. And the best thing is, they will also benefit the environment too:

Clothes Airer

Perhaps not a new invention, but more and more people are reverting make to this traditional method of drying their clothes. Clothes airers are great, they not only mean you can tun the tumble dryer off when it’s raining, but also they allow you to hang clothes around the house without blocking the heat from the radiators or cluttering the place up. And if you revert to them completely you’ll be amazed at just how much that tumble dryer was costing you.

Log Makers

Only for people with a log burning stove or open fire but these clever little devices allow you to turn waste paper and recycled card and newspaper into compacted logs for fuel for the fire. Logmakers are a great way of producing free fuel for both heating and cooking.

Radiator Panels

Radiator panels and reflective foil really give your radiator a boost. They reflect all that lost heat from the back of the radiator, that normally just soaks into the wall behind, back into the room. This can radically improve the heat output, allowing you to turn the thermostat down.

Energy Monitors

Whilst they won;t actually save you money themselves, electricity monitors allow you to identify areas of wasted power. By installing one of these relatively inexpensive box of tricks you can see in real figures and pounds just how much that television left on stand-by is costing or easily identify if that light under the stairs or in the loft has been left on and is draining power.

Energy Saving Light Bulbs

If you haven’t already replaced your filament bulbs it really is time you did so. Energy saving light bulbs use considerably less power and the savings can add up to be quite substantial. Don’t be put off by people telling you they are not as good as traditional bulbs either, while it may have been true when they first came to the market, energy saving lightbulbs are now every bit as good at producing all types of lighting.
