5 Tricks To Make Your Home More Eco-Friendly

When is the last time you stopped to think about what an incredible area we live in? The Lake of the Ozarks is known for being one of the most scenic and most beautiful places in the Midwest, and people travel from all over the surrounding states to come here.



The team at Gattermeir Davidson Real Estate wants to take a quick second to remind you how important it is to keep our Lake and our land healthy and beautiful. In honor of Earth Day, we put together a few simple tips to make your homes more eco-friendly. We hope you find them helpful!

1. Close In The Gaps
In the spring and summer, cool air escapes through the cracks and your air conditioner has to work overtime to keep your house at a comfortable temperature. In the fall and winter, your heater has to work harder as well. Making sure doors and windows seal tightly is a great way to reduce your energy usage.

2. Go Paperless
Statements, bills, and other mail has a way of piling up and filling our landfills more quickly than we realize. You can do your part by going online and signing up for paperless statements from your bank, credit card providers, and utility companies.

3. Updates Your Light Fixtures
Did you know that LED lights are up to 75% more energy efficient than standard incandescent bulbs? Reduce your environmental footprint as well as your electric bill by switching to LED lights.

4. Soak Up The Sun
If you have extra money to put towards an energy-saving investment, then it may be time to consider installing solar panels on your roof. Using energy from the sun can significantly reduce the amount of standard electricity you have to use.



5. Maximize Efficiency
When is the last time you updated your kitchen appliances? Outdated dishwashers, refrigerators, and other appliances use significantly more energy than their modern counterparts. As an added bonus, upgraded kitchen appliances are a great way to add value to your Lake of the Ozarks homes.

Happy Earth Day From Gattermeir Davidson!
Saving the Earth may seem like a lofty goal, but it's possible if we all do our part to improve our part of the world. If you are interested in moving to a new home at the Lake of the Ozarks - perhaps one that works better with your energy-efficient mindset - then come talk to one of our Lake Ozark real estate agents. We look forward to working with you!
