FOR THE HOME:

  1. Heat Control Window Film: (As low as $30 for a 15’ roll at Home Depot) Replacing cheap blinds or windows to save money on your heating bill can often cost more then $5,000. This hardly seems cost effective unless you are planning on living in a house for more then ten years. So, instead of replacing all of your windows, try installing heat control window film over your windows. This light film adheres to your window adding an extra layer of insulation and takes less then an hour to install yourself. Not only will this keep your home warmer in the winter, but it will also keep your house cooler in the summer. Plus, with a 15’ roll, you can cover multiple windows. It’s also important to get good discount window blinds that reflect the heat from the sun.
  2. Thermal Barrier Fabric: This great lightweight fabric is weaved with a high-density polyethylene plastic and coated with a thin reflective metallic surface. When you hang this see-through product inside windows in the winter, the sun heats it and warms your room for free. Hang it outside your window in the summer and it deflects the light from the window keeping your room cooler. As an added bonus, you can cut this fabric with scissors to custom fit it to more then one window.
  3. Water Heater Blanket: (As low as $25 at Home Depot) As inexpensive as this product is, there is no good reason that you should not invest in a water heater blanket immediately. It is easy to wrap around your water heater and keeps the hot water inside warmer for longer. By doing so, the water needs to be heated less often, thus saving you money on your gas bill.
  4. Solar Powered Ionic Air Purifier: For anyone looking for clean pure indoor air at a cheaper price, a solar-powered ionic air purifier can accomplish that goal for relatively free. This portable little product is merely placed in the sun and it immediately begins negatively charging the air and cleaning an area of approximately 150 square feet. Compared to other Ionic Air Purifiers, you can save money on both the purchase and the daily use.
  5. First Alert Motion Sensing Light Socket: For anyone with children, you are fully aware of how often your little tikes leave the lights on in the house. By simply investing in a motion sensing light socket and screwing it into the light sockets where lights are left on the most often, you can save tons of money on your electric bill. Not only does this save you constantly yelling for your kids to turn the lights out, but also it illuminates rooms as soon as you enter them.
  6. Solar Powered BatterY Charger: ($25 at eBay): Who doesn’t use batteries on a daily basis? While most battery chargers run about $10 to $20 at most electronics stores, you still end up spending a little bit of money whenever you charge them. Why not invest a couple more dollars and get a solar powered battery charger, thus saving you ever having to spend money on batteries again.
  7. Custom Blinds Faux Wood: next to nothing. Getting blinds that will properly block out the sun is absolutely important. Getting custom blinds to fit your odd window sizes is a great way to keep the heat out and the cool in.
