5 Eco Friendly Business Ideas (Including Ones That Don’t Cost The Early)
Let’s be honest—running a business keeps you busy. The last thing you need is a complicated list of ways to go green that takes up more time and budget than you’ve got.
The good news? You don’t need to overhaul your entire building to run an eco friendly business. In fact, small changes to the things you already use every day—like heating, lighting and ventilation—can make a real difference.
At Brooktech, we’ve helped all sorts of businesses—from residential homes to office blocks and warehouses—save energy, money and hassle. And in this blog, we’ll share some of the things we know actually work.
Steps towards an Eco Friendly Business
1. Swap Your Lights for LEDs
If you’re still using old bulbs, you’re probably paying more than you need to. LED lighting is an easy win. It lasts longer, uses less energy and gives off less heat—which means lower bills and a cooler building in summer.
We’ve helped loads of businesses make the switch, fitting LED lighting that’s practical, efficient and built to last.
LEDs are by far the most energy efficient light bulb. LED light bulbs are just as powerful as halogen lights but use 80% less electricity to do so. That’s a big saving.
2. Smarter Heating and Cooling = Less Waste
Heating empty rooms. Cooling areas no one’s using. Sound familiar?
With smart heating and cooling controls, you only use energy where and when it’s needed. That means less waste, lower costs, and a more comfortable workspace for your team—or in the case of residential homes, your clients.
We install and look after smart systems that help you stay in control. They’re one of the best tools for building a more eco friendly business.
3. Regular Maintenance Makes a Big Difference
We get it—maintenance isn’t the most exciting topic. But it’s one of the most important.
Even if you’ve got the best kit in place, it won’t run efficiently forever without a bit of TLC. Filters clog up. Parts wear out. And before you know it, you’re wasting energy without even realising.
That’s where our planned maintenance service comes in. We keep your systems running smoothly so you’re not hit with unexpected costs—or rising energy bills. It’s a simple way to stay on top of things and do your bit for the planet too.
4. Time for an Upgrade?
If your heating or cooling system is a bit past its prime, chances are it’s guzzling more power than necessary.
We’re not in the business of replacing things just for the sake of it—but if your current setup is outdated or unreliable, we’ll help you figure out what’s worth upgrading.
Modern systems are smarter, quieter and far more efficient. They’re a great step forward if you’re serious about building an eco friendly business.
5. Heat Recovery Ventilation: A Bit of a Game-Changer
Not everyone’s heard of these—but heat recovery ventilation systems are clever. They take warm air that would usually be wasted and use it to pre-heat fresh air coming in.
That means better air quality without overworking your heating system. Ideal for offices, residential homes and any building where people spend a lot of time indoors.
We install and maintain these systems, helping you breathe easier while using less energy.
