Swapping a kitchen tap in the home could allow individuals to save money on their energy bills, it has been claimed. According to Internet Broadcasting Systems, there are a variety of water-saving kitchen sink accessories available for those who are looking to reduce their carbon footprint. The news provider noted that kitchen tap models with an aerator attached can be used to scrimp on usage, while other environmentally-friendly options include changing the existing lighting systems and turning off appliances. Diane Milliken, energy consultant, told the information source that switching bulbs is an easy thing that homeowners can do to bring down their consumption levels. People were advised that compact fluorescent lamps are the best option and can use 25 per cent of the electricity a typical bulb does. Kitchen Bath Design News recently reported that energy-efficient appliances are becoming increasingly popular for those looking to add value to their homes.
