What are green electricians and how can they help?
Electrical Quotes
from local electricians
These days, resources are diminishing and the cost of electricity is rising, and it's a priority for most Australians to reduce the amount we spend on electricity and also reduce our environmental impact. Over the more recent years, ways to do this have taken great steps forward, and we also all know a lot more about the ways we can use less resources.
Because consumers have become more and more focussed on the goal of saving money and reducing environmental impact, tradespeople have also experienced an increased demand on them to know about the greener solutions - and you'll find that many companies offer and even specialise in green solutions.
Green Electricians are trained and can offer green solutions for your home
Electricians who are already licensed and experienced can take specialised training to become green electricians - learning how to install energy efficient electrical solutions and understand different electrical products and technology. Training is offered by various bodies including Master Electricians and once the training is completed, the electrician will receive a formal qualification/accreditation as a green electrician.
What kind of solutions do Green Electricians cover?
Pretty much anything electrical related that makes your home more energy efficient. They can advise on changing lightbulbs or your appliances, and focus quite heavily on the use of solar throughout your house. They are also great at converting a house over a period of time, starting small and adding more solar energy over a period of time to suit your budget. They'll also use energy efficient materials and advise you on off peak electricity.
What other technologies are available?
One of the great things about technology is that it gives us, the consumers, more information. A great little invention is a SmartNow meter - which can be installed into your home and allows you to see exactly how much electricity you're using at any given time. So, do you want to know whether the act of turning off an appliance uses more electricity than simply leaving it on standby? Or do you want to see whether cooking the same meal in the oven vs the microwave is more energy efficient? This little gadget will give you real time info and help you to change your habits the smart way.
