Energy Efficient Website Hosting

Published February 16th, 2009 by HomeOptionsDesign

Home Options Design is now offering energy efficient website hosting! – WebOptionsDesign.com

If you are taking the time to read this blog, there may be several questions going through your mind right now from that statement. I would like to answer two of them.

  1. The question - ”Why is a residential design firm offering website hosting?” The answer - Home Options Design also provided website design services and offering website hosting developed from the desire to offer this service to my clients as I designed their websites. If you know anything about website hosting you know there are many companies to choose from and the price ranges offered can be just as many. This is why I got into the hosting side of the business so I can offer a great product for a very reasonable rate (not only to my clients, but to everyone). One year of basic website hosting is only $10.00 per month or $120.00 for the full year. 
  2. The question – “How can a computer system that runs twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, be energy efficient?” The answer - Wind harvesting technology powers and cools the website servers. Allowing wind to generate power is a “no-brainer” This technology actually produces 30% more energy than the amount required. That’s a total generation capacity of 130%! Wind technology is a very energy efficient method of producing energy.

One home plumbing upgrade that is inexpensive, easy to do and saves water!

Published February 16th, 2009 by HomeOptionsDesign

One plumbing upgrade that is inexpensive, easy to do yourself, saves water, time, and money.

The typical situation: If you live in a typical residential home in America then I am sure you have this situation. You are standing at your bathroom sink fixing to wash your face, shave, or some other task where you desire to utilize hot water. After turning on the hot water side of the faucet, you hold your hand underneath the running water to wait for the hot water to make it through the plumbing system and actully come out of the faucet. This process can take anywhere from a few seconds up to a minute or so.  All the while water is being wasted and furthermore if you are on a municipal sewer system, you are paying for sewage fees on this perfectly good and wasted water.

This same situation often occurs while preparing for a shower and wastes even more water.

The inexpensive and easy solution is a residential hot water recirculation system!  A residential hot water recirculation system can be a very cost effective and easy solution to this problem.  

The benefits are

  • Saves energy and water
  • adds convenience
  • has a 15 year life expectancy
  • extends water heater life
  • reduces sewer pollution
  • reduces air pollution
  • easily installed on existing plumbing systems or in new homes
  • high return on investment (R.O.I.)

Here is a diagram of how the system works: residential hot water recirculation system
