3 Reasons We Installed Solar Panels
Being and a grown up and owning a house has caused a slight headache lately. Keeping on top of maintaining your home and keeps down costs put many people off from buying their own home. But, having the security of a home that is yours, for me, outweighs any of these headaches.
We’ve been living in our home for seven years now and we’re slowly becoming quite savvy whilst managing our home and something that I would recommend to any home owners is the installation of solar panels.
A More Mindful Way of Running a Home
Being mindful you realise that their is no “quick fix” to the problem of climate change. We need conscious responses that include many perspectives and consider long-term consequences and impact and we are all responsible for that.
Financial Benefits
As well as keeping costs down they can also add value to your property. Home buyers are becoming more and more savvy and ant more for their money. Whilst it may not add thousands to the value of your property it may make it more appealing to buyers.
Long Lasting Benefits
If you maintain your solar panels they can last for many years to come and that’s why they make such a good investment. Just as you would for your boiler or car, solar panels should be serviced yearly in order to make sure they are working correctly and you are getting the full benefits from them. Solar panels unfortunately make good nesting spots for birds such as pigeons, however there are a number of companies such who offer solar panel pigeon proofing services that will take care of this issue for you in an environmentally friendly way, no harsh chemicals or poisons used.
As a mum I’m really trying to make sure anything I do has a long lasting benefit, again this goes back to my more mindful way of living and not opting for a short term fix solution.
Do you have solar panels? Would you recommend them?
