Save money and do some good for the world around you by using simple measures to conserve energy in the home. If you’re not sure where to start – don’t worry! We’ll be bringing you one great energy-saving tip every day for the next month.

 

16. Upgrade your computer

 

Do you still have a desktop computer in your home? Are you currently looking to replace it with something a bit more modern?

If you answered yes to the above questions then we have a solution for you that will save you money in the long run (both in terms of electronics and your electricity bill).

If you’re looking to buy a new computer then why not consider downsizing your dekstop in favour of a laptop?

Not only are laptops portable and just as efficient as a desktop computer, they also use a lot less energy than desktops.

Because your laptop is small, it only requires a fraction of the electricity to get it up and running. Also laptops have built-in batteries meaning that you’re free to unplug your laptop from the mains electricity at any time you want.

Desktop computers can’t work without electricity and they can waste so much during the hours that you have them plugged in.

Upgrade your technology by opting for a fast, modern laptop – you’ll save money and you’ll be able to surf the internet wherever you want. It’s a win/win situation!
