Save Money Reuse Energy – Install a Solar Powered Hot Water Heater

I really believe that French properties, the climate in France and the money in pocket of people living in France could be positively changed with the increased usage of our sun’s energy.

Did you know that about 25 percent of the energy you may use in your French property goes to heating water?

Investigate and take the time to consider the benefits to your French property that can come from combining an individual solar water heating system and your hot water tank. You may be able to cover the cost of heating 50 percent of your domestic hot water heating needs using the French sunshine!

WARNING about French real estate advertising

WARNING about French real estate advertising – the hidden detail.

When you read an article about a French real estate agent or agency that is praising the value of the person or company make sure you are not reading what is called an Advertorial.

An Advertorial is an advertisement that is written to make it look like it is a piece of editorial content.

A French real estate agency or agent will pay to have their self written praises on a site or in a magazine.

We recommend you make sure you are reading real not paid for editorial content.

We mention this because recently we have been getting phone calls from French real estate magazines and online services asking us to write content for their site and saying we can do this if we paid for the article placement. That is they want us to write an ‘advertorial’. They get content to boost their rankings and they get the writer to pay to place the article.

We don’t like this idea. We don’t pay to have our content placed on another site.

Indeed, we believe it is supposed to be noted on an advertorial article that it is in fact an advertisement but sometimes you have to search.

In contrast, as you will see on our site we have testimonials from people who have used our service and, this is the best advertisement for our quality of service.

Just scroll down to see comments on our work.

How to Save on Energy Efficient Appliances

It is definitely an excellent idea to have energy efficient appliances in your French property to help reduce the negative impact of excess energy usage common to older appliances.

The way to find the efficiency of a new appliance is to look for the ‘Energie’ logo – see the sample image at the top of this article.

The biggest challenge for many people is the cost of new appliances so they keep the old energy burners.

A simple solution is to look for the new energy efficient appliance you wish for and then search for it online at a reliable service that sells used appliances. This may sound obvious but many people do not think of buying a used appliance, however, if you do, you can save substantially on the price since it is difficult to sell a used appliance even if it is almost new.  You can take advantage of the depreciation the current owner will have experienced since the current owner bought new.

In addition you will have taken a positive step for our planet since you will be buying and re-using an energy efficient appliance that someone may have just decided to leave in their garage.

Note: Make sure the used appliance you are buying is functioning correctly.

Please share this idea with friends and please let us know your ideas.

New Connected Electrical Grid in France can Reduce Energy Usage

At ESREA France we work to help people find their dream home in France with the assistance of our growing network of English speaking real estate professionals.

Easy Action Step Number eight

New Connected Electrical Grid in France can Reduce Energy Usage

In one of our other 12 tips we mentioned the value of having a learning thermostat so you can understand and control your home heating energy usage.

Now this year ERDF the French electrical grid managing system is starting to install on a large scale the Linky smart meter system.

Linky is not your average electricity meter. It will offer accurate meter readings back to the main network center, allows for diagnostics of remote operations and helps the consumer measure the amount of their consumption so you as the consumer can reduce your unnecessary energy usage therefore saving money and reducing negative impact on the climate.

The installation of the meter will not be at consumer cost but will be at the cost of ERDF who will be saving on the cost of sending out individuals to read meters. The elimination of the meter readers travelling around France also has a positive impact on the French climate.

Therefore, this tip does not require you to take any action and does not require you to spend any money. You just need to wait for ERDF to call to set up the appointment to install your new Linky meter.

Bravo et Merci ERDF!
