Start Your Green Journey With Online Energy Monitoring

Google has recently announced that it’s becoming more ‘green’ by giving its customers a way to monitor how much energy they use every day, in real time.

However, experts are emphasising the fact that this should just be a part of the ways you go green, alongside a number of other measures which can help you to save money at the same time as helping the environment.

Google’s service is designed to help you realise how much energy your household is consuming at all times, which should be enough to give people a wakeup call.

Many people don’t realise just how much energy is being wasted through areas such as the windows. In order to see a difference, it’s important to make long term changes that will continue to save money for years to come.

For example, installing double glazing in the windows and doors throughout your home can help you to save an average of around £135 each year (according to the Energy Saving Trust), especially when you use energy efficient glass and experienced suppliers to carry out the work.

We are constantly being told of the latest rises in energy prices, which is why every little helps to keep our own costs low.

As an example, the Green Party recently installed double glazing in its office headquarters which has led to massive reductions in carbon emissions – something that we should all be doing if we want to do our part. The good news about double glazing is that it will continue to pay off for years to come.
