Energy that has been generated by burning fossil fuels contributes significantly to global warming, and it is one of the most urgent issues that we face today. The goal of environmentally aware people is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by changing their pattern of energy consumption.
An eco-electrician can help you lower your energy usage (and your bills).
An eco-electrician is a professional electrician who specialises in helping to effectively manage the energy consumed in homes and businesses. To reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, an eco-electrician might design and install energy-efficient systems, recommend energy-efficient products, or provide guidance on energy-saving practices that can be adopted in the home or work place.
