Stay Cozy and Save This Winter: Energy-Efficient Living at Harmac Homes

As the days shorten and the temperatures dip, creating a warm and inviting home becomes a priority. But keeping your haven toasty doesn't have to mean skyrocketing energy bills. Here at Harmac Homes, we're passionate about sustainable living, and that extends to building homes that are energy-efficient by design.

Harmac's 7-Star Advantage: Built-in Savings

Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in our 7-star energy rating, the highest achievable standard in Australia. This means your Harmac home is built with features that minimize energy consumption, translating to significant cost savings throughout the year, especially during winter.

Simple Steps for Winter Warmth

Beyond the inherent efficiency of a Harmac home, here are some tips to maximize your comfort and keep those energy bills low:

• Harness the Power of the Sun: Open south-facing curtains during the day to let sunlight naturally heat your home. When the sun sets, close the curtains to trap the warmth inside.

• Be Smart with Your Thermostat: A programmable thermostat allows you to adjust the temperature when you're away or asleep. Aim for a comfortable setting between 18°C and 20°C. Every degree higher can add up to 10% more energy use.

• Seal the Deal: Drafty windows and doors are energy leaks. Ensure proper sealing around windows and doors to prevent warm air from escaping. Consider adding draft excluders for additional defence against the chill.

• Embrace Cozy Layers: Dress for the season! Putting on a sweater or slippers can significantly improve your comfort level, allowing you to keep the thermostat at a lower setting.

• Clever Appliance Use: Wash full loads of laundry and dishes to maximize efficiency. Consider air-drying clothes whenever possible, and opt for shorter, cooler showers.
