Kitchen Remodeling That Helps You Save Energy This Summer
Summer is the season for sunshine, fresh meals, and — unfortunately — higher energy bills. If you’re feeling the heat in more ways than one, it might be time to update your kitchen in a way that’s not just stylish, but smart.
At Kitchen Tune-Up, we believe your kitchen remodel should do more than look great. It should upgrade the way your space functions and uplift your everyday routine — and that includes helping you save on energy.
- Update Your Lighting
Swapping outdated fixtures for LED lighting is one of the simplest ways to cut back on energy use. Whether you're adding under-cabinet lighting or switching to recessed ceiling LEDs, the savings add up fast — and they look fantastic. Plus, LED lighting stays cooler, which helps keep your kitchen comfortable during summer months.
- Upgrade to Energy-Efficient Cabinets
Yes, even cabinets can play a role in energy savings! Consider a cabinet upgrade with better organization and accessibility that helps reduce the need for extra appliances (like countertop ovens or portable storage). Our refacing and redooring services allow you to keep your existing cabinet structure while giving your kitchen a beautiful, energy-conscious update.
- Reflect Light with Brighter Finishes
Lighter cabinet colors and finishes can reflect more natural light, helping you rely less on artificial lighting during the day. This simple visual uplift can make your kitchen feel bigger, brighter, and cooler — all with minimal impact on your energy bill.
- Include Smart Storage Solutions
A more functional kitchen is a more efficient one. Pull-out shelves, spice racks, and drawer organizers reduce the need to keep appliances running or lights on while digging for what you need. A well-designed upgrade improves both energy use and your sanity!
- Plan for Efficient Appliances
While Kitchen Tune-Up doesn’t install appliances, we can help you design a layout that makes room for newer, energy-efficient models. A remodel is the perfect time to update your kitchen to work in harmony with smart fridges, induction cooktops, or Energy Star dishwashers.
