Ideas to Save Money as a Home Owner

Are you looking for ideas on how to save money as a homeowner? I am a home owner, and I have learned that there are always projects to complete, and they are never cheap. Ever. I feel like I am not alone in this discovery. So, out of curiosity, I decided to check out different ideas to save money as a homeowner , or to help reduce the bills and even reduce the budget on different to-do lists around the house. 

I will admit, Youtube plumbing lessons have not typically ended well for me, but I can be handy on other projects throughout my home. with that in mind, I selected ideas that even I could handle. This article is designed to share a few unique products that are not the “everyday” ideas we may see in other places. I hope you find them helpful!

Backyard Revolutions

 

I have definitely considered buying solar panels, but I have held back because the panels and their other necessary components are expensive and require installation fees. I keep saying I will look back into it in a couple years. I say that every couple of years. Backyard Revolutions uses a more appealing approach that I would get to faster than actual solar panels.

They provide a Do It Yourself project to save money on your electric bill without the expensive solar panels that can take up a lot of space. This is not a product for anyone who prefers to pay others to do the work. It is not building a deck though, and when finished, you are the creator and installer of your new solar powered energy source. 

Backyard Resolution states that most people do have the skills necessary to build their own 3D solar powered unit. You don’t have to be an electrician to do it, there’s no maintenance needed, and it doesn’t take up a lot of space. 

Like any home project, there is an investment up front for the how-to tutorials and guidance on a shopping list to gather the items needed to essentially build your own 3D solar energy device.

Backyard Revolutions boasts that this solar system can even be created and used for those that live in the middle of a city, making it an appealing option for anyone. 

So, if you are handy at projects and willing to put in the work to create your own solar power system, you can save money on installation costs and large solar panel products. Their program tells you exactly what to do and what items you need to get it done yourself with components that are easy to find.

What you get when you order Backyard Revolution:

•  How to Build Your Energy Stockpile – This report outlines methods you can use to store excess energy, what batteries you can use, and even how to “revive” other batteries you may have laying around the house or in the garage.

• Backyard Revolution E-Book – This is the main manual with written instructions and graphics that provide step by step details for how to make your own 3D solar mobile device.

• Alternative Electric Energy Sources for Your Homestead – This is a special report designed to teach you how to make your solar energy unit strong enough to withstand outages from natural disasters and become an EMP proof power plant that protects you and your family in times of emergency to ensure you are not left without power when you need it most.

• How to Build Your Energy Stockpile – This report outlines methods you can use to store excess energy, what batteries you can use, and even how to “revive” other batteries you may have laying around the house or in the garage.

• How to Protect Your Homestead in case of an EMP – This is a report that breaks down the essentials needed to ensure your unit is prepared and survives an EMP.

How much does it cost? The total costs would be the price of your Backyard Revolutions package as well as the price of materials needed for building your unit, ranging about $200-$300 at the time that this article was written. This is a fraction of the cost needed to invest in the purchase and installation of solar panels, and Backyard Revolutions does include a 60-day Money Back Guarantee.

EZ Battery Reconditioning

I don’t personally have a lot of batteries lying around, but I know a lot of people that do. I don’t even know what all of their batteries are for, but I have family members with a corner dedicated to batteries they have changed out from vehicles or others for tools that they stopped using because they don’t last very long after being charged. I did not know battery reconditioning even existed until recently.

If you can use random battery sources to power home-made solar energy system, why not revive old batteries for other needs as well? Batteries are necessary to power tools and vehicles in our lives and some batteries can get very expensive. 

What if you could bring older and used batteries back to life and save money, or even clean up the garage where old batteries are lying around? EZ Battery Reconditioning has designed methods to rejuvenate batteries and their methods can be accessed within a couple minutes from purchasing so that you can start this project right away. Because it can be accessed online, you can be charging batteries within the hour of purchasing this product.

What you get with EZ Battery Reconditioning:

• Battery Reconditioning Guide – This is a step by step program with written instructions as well as diagrams using simple supplies that you may already have laying around the house; no technical experience is required.

• Lifetime Support and Updates – Even future releases of new reconditioning battery guides will be free.

• Mobile Friendly – You can access this program from a phone or tablet.

• Information Vault – Includes free articles, guides, and downloads.

So, whether you want to save money by avoiding buying new batteries, if you want to prep back-up batteries, or even use the energy from revamped batteries for other DIY home projects, this product could be for you. For peace of mind, EZ Battery Reconditioning does come with a 60 day Money Back Guarantee. 

Septic tanks are a necessity for any home even if they are not the most popular topic on home tours. The waste must go somewhere, and we tend to forget about it until it is time to empty it out, or much worse, something isn’t working right. Anyone who has smelled the, “it isn’t working right” phase will never forget the unpleasant aroma. It is not a recommended scent for candle experts. 

I personally do not have septic tanks; I have public sewage (which still comes with its own agenda of problems), but I figured that this product may still be helpful for those living with the regular maintenance of septic tanks.

Septifix is an oxygen releasing septic treatment product in the form of a solid tablet that is considered environmentally safe and is categorized as a “Green Product.” 

It is simply flushed down the toilet. For those suffering through odor issues, it effectively reduces odor initially, and then the odors are eliminated completely in 3 to 5 days. 

Septifix tablets also prevent backups and clogs, or if you are already experiencing these issues, it breaks down existing organic sludge in the tank. It actually destroys harmful pathogens in the tank to reduce potential health risks associated with anaerobic bacteria such as Salmonella and E-coli. 

The Septifix tablet is considered non-toxic being that it contains no harsh chemicals, and the creators state that this product could reduce or even eliminate the need to pump your tank. Either way, this would definitely save money throughout any given year.

 

What you get with Septifix:

Septifix tablets can be purchased in 6, 12, and 18 month supplies and they come with a 60 day Money Back Guarantee. Once you order your tablets, they are shipped to your door in 5-7 business days. 

There is also a 24/7 support team if you have questions. Whether you are having issues with your tank currently or if you are looking to prevent clogs and maintenance concerns, this tablet can reduce headaches and plumbing costs!
