Invest in energy efficient appliances for your holiday let<\/h2>\n<p>Appliances like fridges, freezers, microwaves, washing machines, tumble dryers and dishwashers are traditionally the biggest energy consumers in any home. By investing more in their efficiency, it is possible to generate considerable savings with these products over time.<\/p>\n<p>When the time comes to replace an appliance, look for A+++ energy ratings. <strong>The benefit of having \u2018green appliances\u2019 is the focus on energy efficiency<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also important to get an appliance that\u2019s the right size for your property and the number of guests you cater for. As an example, a washing machine with a family size drum in a property which sleeps two will waste energy. As would too small a machine in larger occupancy property.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><a name=\"lightbulbs\"><\/a>2. Switch to LED light bulbs<\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3097\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cornishcottageholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/04\/LED-Lightbulb.jpg\" alt=\"LED Lightbulbs\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Where possible replace traditional and halogen lightbulbs and switch to energy-efficient light bulbs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LED lights use 75% less energy<\/strong> to deliver the same amount of light! They last 25 times longer and use less electricity, <strong>saving you up to \u00a350 per year on energy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><a name=\"heat\"><\/a>3. Reduce home heat loss<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3098\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cornishcottageholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/04\/Home-tech-heating-device.jpg\" alt=\"Home tech heating device\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There is a lot you can do to make your eco-friendly holiday home&#8217;s heating system more energy efficient. In turn, this could save you money on your energy bills, as well as reduce your carbon emissions.<\/p>\n<h3>Add loft insulation<\/h3>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/energysavingtrust.org.uk\/advice\/roof-and-loft-insulation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Energy Saving Trust<\/a>, a quarter of heat is lost through the roof of an uninsulated home. Adding insulation to a property\u2019s loft, attic or flat roof is an <strong>effective way to reduce heat lost<\/strong> and lower your heating bills too!<\/p>\n<h3>Boiler servicing<\/h3>\n<p>The average household spends as much as <strong>50% of their energy bill when heating and hot water<\/strong>. So, having an efficient heating system is important.<\/p>\n<p>An inefficient boiler can cost a lot of money and unnecessarily waste energy. It pays dividends to <strong>make sure your boiler runs optimally<\/strong> and only uses as much energy as necessary to heat your eco-friendly holiday home. Read our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cornishcottageholidays.co.uk\/blog\/guide-to-boiler-maintenance-holiday-let\/\">guide to boiler maintenance for your holiday let<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n<h3>Install a smart meter<\/h3>\n<p>Heating is the biggest consumer of energy in your holiday home. It can be easy to waste energy, particularly in the winter months by leaving your heating on for longer than necessary.<\/p>\n<p>You can <strong>prevent wastage by fitting timer controls<\/strong> which allow you to control and monitor your energy usage.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a smart thermostat fitted in your holiday let, you\u2019ll be able to control the heating from your mobile device remotely through apps such as Nest or Hive. No more worrying about guests leaving the heating on when they depart or frozen pipes!<\/p>\n<h3>Curtains, blinds and flooring<\/h3>\n<p>Even little fixes around the home can mount up to significant savings in your energy bills and reduce your holiday homes carbon footprint. We advise good quality, well lined <strong>curtains and blinds to keep the heat in<\/strong> and cold air out.<\/p>\n<p>They are also a useful security measure against prying eyes when your holiday home is not let too. Covering any hardwood floors with cost effective and stylish rugs help to keep your holiday home warm.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><a name=\"charging\"><\/a>4. Provide electric vehicle charging points at your holiday cottage<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3106\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cornishcottageholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/04\/Eco-charging.jpg\" alt=\"Car being charged with electric charging point.\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Many guests are opting for a more sustainable way of travel and investing in electric and hybrid vehicles. Electric vehicles help reduce the amount of carbon emissions that are directly linked to climate change<strong>. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>By providing an EV charging unit at your holiday property, you are encouraging eco-friendly living and awareness<\/strong> as well as providing an incentive for environmentally aware guests. Catering for this ever-increasing number of electric vehicle drivers by providing a charging point will not only increase your eco-credentials, but give your holiday let greater appeal.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><a name=\"products\"><\/a>5. Use eco-friendly household products<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3096\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cornishcottageholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/04\/eco-cleaning.jpg\" alt=\"Sustainable eco friendly cleaning products.\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One of the most obvious eco-friendly holiday home tips is to use sustainable products in your accommodation! There\u2019s an emerging market of <strong>eco-friendly products offering environmentally friendly solutions <\/strong>to a variety of household needs. Natural cleaning products can be just as effective as harmful chemical ones which are bad for the environment and your guests.<\/p>\n<p>As well as costing less and being kinder to the environment, natural, softer products also help guests who might suffer with allergies or respiratory problems.<\/p>\n<p>Reduce the amount of plastic used by buying <strong>reusable and refillable containers<\/strong>. Invest in products with <strong>eco-friendly packaging or are compostable<\/strong>. There are endless solutions to a variety of household needs.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"design\">6. Think about sustainable interior design<\/h2>\n<p>You might be wondering, how can interior design be sustainable? Of course, buying your soft furnishings locally, from a trusted independent retailer like Cornish family-run business <a href=\"https:\/\/www.julianfoye.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Julian Foye<\/a> is one way of being environmentally friendly. But more than just choosing local, eco-conscious brands, it\u2019s about choosing long lasting, durable products that are made from sustainable textiles and fabrics like cotton and hemp, or even made from recycled fibres.<\/p>\n<p>There are plenty of other ways to be sustainable when choosing your interior styling too. For instance, making the most of natural light through the careful positioning of furniture will save using as much artificial lighting. Also, consider purchasing indoor plants to purify the air and add more character to your rooms.<\/p>\n<p>Julian Foye has five stores across Cornwall, and can provide helpful tips and advice on keeping your property as sustainable and as stylish as possible!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><a name=\"recycling\"><\/a>7. Provide recycling options for guests<\/h2>\n<p>Guests on holiday generate waste just as they would at home. Every local authority enforces slightly different rules on exactly what can be and cannot be recycled. Provide clear, easy-to-use recycling instructions to <strong>help guests recycle during their stay<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Clearly label your bins and containers to encourage your guests to use them. Leave details about bin collection days. For more information about waste collection in your area, please read our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cornishcottageholidays.co.uk\/blog\/cornwall-holiday-home-waste-collection\/\">Cornwall holiday home waste collection guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><a name=\"water\"><\/a>8. Save water<\/h2>\n<p>Using less water saves energy and infrastructure costs. <strong>There are plenty of ways to save water<\/strong>. Take the time to fix any leaks or dripping taps. Help your guests conserve water by fitting low-flow shower heads and aerators to taps.<\/p>\n<p>If your property has a garden, why not consider collecting rainwater via a water butt, which can be used to water plants throughout the year.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><a name=\"renewable\"><\/a>9. Switch to renewable energy sources<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cornishcottageholidays.co.uk\/cottage\/Cornwall-Lakeview\/Rosewarrick-Cottage-1097638.html?_hsearch=2204276268ff6dd69c1&amp;_price=408&amp;_display=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3101\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cornishcottageholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/04\/Rosewarrick-Cottage.jpeg\" alt=\"Rosewarrick Cottage Outdoor Area with Solar Panels.\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Choosing <strong>renewable energy sources for your holiday homes electricity and heating<\/strong> is a great way to make your make your holiday home more sustainable, potentially lowering energy costs.<\/p>\n<p>There are new and efficient technologies available that can help reduce net emissions, creating a cleaner world.

Offer your guests various information and instructions on <strong>how they can help the environment during their stay<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ask guests to <strong>unplug their electric devices<\/strong> (laptops, mobile phone chargers etc.) when not in use. It\u2019s also worth asking them to swtich off lights and heating in order to preserve energy.<\/li>\n<li>Include information inside your welcome packs on <strong>local suppliers<\/strong> or even supply locally sourced, fresh organic produce with low food miles from local markets and farm shops.
