With each passing day, there’s a steady rise in awareness of how devastating the effects of global warming truly are. If you’re still in denial, just take a good look at all the natural disasters that have been going on in the last couple of years. This is why more and more people are starting to lead greener lives as it not only helps lower the emissions of harmful carbon gases, but it also helps reduce the monthly bill as well. It’s no surprise then that there’s a whole bunch of interesting eco-friendly gadgets on the market at the moment, with new ones being developed as we speak. Here’s a list of just a few.

Easybulb Plus

LED light bulbs are known for having a much longer lifespan than your ordinary light bulb. Moreover, they’re extremely efficient at conserving energy whereas the incandescent light bulb uses a staggering 90% just to heat itself and only the remaining 10% is used for lighting. Easybulb Plus has a lifespan of 25 years and has an integrated voice control system as well as the ability to change the color of its light to your desire. In addition, you can even sync it with your smartphone’s alarm system so both can turn on simultaneously.

Mistbox Air Conditioner

Another must-have energy reducing gadget, the Mistbox air conditioner is incredibly efficient. By attaching it to your standard home air conditioner, Mistbox cools the air inside it by spraying fine mists of water, thus significantly reducing the energy needed to cool your house. What’s more, it’s powered by salvaging the exhaust air coming from your air conditioner’s condenser, meaning it doesn’t consume energy on its own. The more energy it can save, the better it is for the environment.

By doing this, it saves up to a third more than your average sprinkler system.

A Home Automation System

With a home automation system, you have full control of your indoor energy consumption rates. You can even check these rates with the energy metering system it comes with, so you know exactly how much you’ve saved each month. Furthermore, you get to control your air-conditioning, your lighting, and even your whole entertainment system. The most important thing is, that it keeps your house safe from intruders at all times. In addition, it’s easy to install, just make sure you find certified C-Bus installers to get the job done properly and get a warranty in the process.
