Recycle for the holidays


Don't throw away all that packaging from your new electronics, or the old TV or DVD player you just upgraded! Check out Eco Cycle's holiday recycling guide for info on how to recycle your holiday related items. At Boulder's CHaRM (Center for Hard-to-Recycle Materials) location, you even recycle things like #6 white block foam (Styrofoam)!

Save More Energy With a Homelife Lighting Control System

Lighting control offers great opportunities for saving energy while enhancing your lifestyle. How many light switches do you have to turn on when you get home or turn off before you go to bed? Does your family accidentally forget to turn off the family room, patio, or Christmas lights? Did you know that most of your lights could probably be dimmed by 25% without noticing and yet save 20% energy and extend the bulb life by 4x? Did you know that lighting accounts for up to 15% of your overall utility bill? With a Homelife system, you can save significant energy costs and reduce your impact to the environment!


Homelife delivers innovative wireless lighting control systems that not only set the mood, but also lower energy use, maximize safety and convenience, and reduce lighting maintenance. The technology is essentially invisible to you, since all the dimmer switches talk to each other wirelessly over the “mesh network” they create, so there is no central “controller”. The more switches you add, the larger the wireless network. Any button in the entire system can be programmed to operate any other smart switch, but it can also activate any pre-programmed “scene” that operates multiple switches--such as goodnightwelcome homeentertainpathway, etc. It is also very scalable so you can start with a few of the high traffic switches and then add more later. Décor options are available to match your home, and the smart dimmer switches can be installed in-wall, on table top for lamps, or in a garage door opener style clicker.

Get A Google-Enabled Smart Meter For Your Home

Font size
Did you know that you don't have to wait for your city or power company to be on the Smart Grid before you get a smart meter for your home? Check out The Energy Detective (or T.E.D.), which is a simple home energy monitoring device that clamps over the power wires on your electric breaker box and then displays your power usage on a table top display, on the internet using Google Power Meter, or through a Life-ware interface in a fully automated home. Once you see in real-time what your home's electricity usage is doing to your wallet, it's great motivation to take easy steps to conserve more energy by turning off or unplugging things you don't need. You will get instant feedback on how much you've just saved when you watch your energy consumption rate drop before your eyes. Of course, you can make all of these conservation steps much easier with a home automation or lighting control solution--contact Homelife today to learn more!
