  1. Over the last 2 decades, we've slowly replaced almost everything in the house with energy efficacy in mind, whiles not reducing the quality of life. Over the last 2 decades, we managed to reduce our energy use in half, whiles also having a lot more tech gadgets around the house, and it really shows how you can slash your energy use without really changing your quality of life, in fact, in our case, it's improved by having more tech gadgets and lower energy cost. With that said, there's still more room for improvement we could do, this dryer for one is something I've not heard off and will have to look into that when replacing the one we have, then there's heat pumps to replace the boiler, but that's really expensive and then there are solar panels. When it comes to heating and depending on your home, insulating your house can save you a lot in winter, where I live in the UK, winters can get cold but since insulating, we rarely need to switch the heating on and even when we do, it's only for around an hour that keeps the house warm for quite some time, since the insulation, I've noticed that the temperature can drop as low as -5C and still feel comfortable, winters where I live is usually around -5C and 5C, so it's rare we need to use the heating, apart from last year when we had a record cold snap of -9C for 2 days. Insulating probably works out a lot cheaper than buying a heat pump system, depending on your home and how much work is needed, but having both would be ideal. In the end, there are a lot of things you can do to really slash your energy down whiles saving a lot of money and I've found it's best to do it over a long period of time, just by putting some thought into things that you replace overtime, makes a massive difference over the long run.
