Eco Friendly Heating and Cooling

By -



There are many ways we can keep our homes cool in summer and warm in winter, from simple everyday things to the design and construction of your home. The main focus in eco-friendly heating and cooling is minimising energy consumption and conserving warm and cool air around your home.


Ventilation is a critical factor in both heating and cooling. In the warmer months, the hotter air rises into the roof and needs to be released. Opening a few windows is the easiest way to do this, but having some vents in your roof is the most effective way for dissipating warm air in your home.

Skylights are also a perfect way to achieve this and they also let more natural light into your home, so you’re not using as many lights, which sometimes produce heat. Once the hot air has been drawn away, cooler air can enter your home via vents or your air conditioning system. In winter, make sure you close the vents and skylight to prevent heat from escaping.

Insulation is one of the best ways to keep heat in your home. It will drastically increase the efficiency of your heating and cooling systems because you don’t have to run the units for long to heat or cool your living areas. There’s many kind of insulation, so speak to a professional about which best suits your home and climate.

Solar heating is also a great way for homes to manage their carbon footprint. They’re great for heating outdoor pools and your home. There are two main types - liquid or air, which both collect the sun’s heat and transfers it to a collector or directly into your home. They usually have a backup system if it’s cloudy so you don’t need to worry about it not working.  

If you’re seeking advice on how to make your home more eco-friendly, talk to one of the consultants at Coldflow.

    A properly insulated household saves on energy cost and also is pleasing to the eyes.

    Wish our house is well-ventilated so we don't have to constantly use the air conditioning unit. I'll make sure to create a well-ventilated and insulated home in the future though :)

    That's exactly my dream house...with wide glass doors and walls for the natural light and ventilation.

Cleaning 101: Declogging drains

Clogged drains are typically easy to fix, as we can unclog it physically, chemically or a combination of both.   However, it usually depends on the nature and extent of the problem so before calling on an experience plumber in parramatta , here are some tips that you may try to uncork that clog. The kitchen sink is most often clogged with fats, grease and oils, unplug or remove the strainer, as grease accumulate around the strainer in the sink. Remove and wash away anything that has collected around it. You may also use liquid sosa or liquid lye, just pour it straight then wait for 10 minutes before flushing it with tap water.   Better yet pour in the chemical at night before going to sleep when nobody will use the kitchen sink anymore. Flush it with water the next morning.
