Ecological Solutions
It can be incredibly frustrating watching gas and electricity prices go up and up and wonder what you can do about it other that turn down the heat and freeze. If you are looking to change your situation and transform your home into an ecological paradise the high street offers some new and interesting bargains that will help you look at fuels in a different way. From your kitchen to your backyard, you don’t need to be miserable to save the planet.
You may feel that your options for heating and cooking fuel are limited. If you are ready to invest, however, you can purchase an aga. They run on a variety of different fuels, but the oil one is the best option because it can burn either red diesel or bio diesel. To find a local supplier just do an internet search with you location-for example type in Red Diesel York if you live in York. It is not possible to find home heating oil on the high street, but you can shop for items that would use the supply that you get delivered to your house. A diesel generator is a great option to produce electricity, they are quite noisy, but if you are committed to reducing your use of electricity from the grid, you can set up a system where the diesel generator is further from the house. These days, the small personal use one is simple enough for anybody to use.
A diesel camping stove is another great purchase. If you have decided to go for the aga, you might find that it is too warm in the summer. A high quality camping stove combined with an outdoor barbecue might be just what you need.
You can also find stoves that burn home heating oil that fit into a pre existing fire place. Any fire place shop will feature these types of stoves and you can pop in to a camping shop to find a small diesel cook stove. You will find a selection of outdoor barbecues at diy shops like home base, but it is also worth it to pop into your local iron monger or antique dealer to see what they have on offer. Depending on the area that you are living in, it is very common to find appliances that were used before natural gas conversions took the entire country hostage. If all else fails, look for house clearances in your local papers.
