Understanding what efficient energy use (or energy efficiency) actually is

First, we need to understand what the term ‘energy efficiency’ means. We could get very technical and state that it is the ratio between the useful output of an energy conversion machine and the input, in energy terms the useful output may be electrical power, mechanical work, or heat. Now to translate that into human, all this is telling us is that energy efficiency is using less energy to provide the same service.

What products to use in the winter months for efficient energy use

When considering how to cut costs in winter months, one knows that the biggest candidate for energy consumption is that of heat producing devices. But how can one possibly cut down on heat without freezing to death? There is always the option of using a good gas fire place, for instead of siphoning energy such as that of an electrical heater, it uses gas to heat up. However, when it comes to saving the most energy within a household, nothing beats that of a good, old-fashioned wood burning fireplace.

Whilst one may argue that these only cause problems by creating dust in your household, consuming too much wood to run efficiently and being a health hazard for your family, one must consider that if installed correctly by a certified technician, fireplaces may just be the answer to your energy bill problems. The second argument one may pose is that; if I already have a fully functional fireplace, why would I want to install another one? Simply because of the before statement. While older burning fireplaces do cause problems such as dust, too much wood being used and fire hazards, the modern EPA-certified wood burners eliminate all of those concerns
