The OhmConnect Editorial team has compiled a list of our favorite Smart Home and Energy-Efficient products on sale for Big Deal Days on Amazon.
How to Use This List
Some items are “invite only”, meaning you must get on a list and wait for an email from Amazon to see if you get the deal price. Others are only available for Amazon Prime members.
You’ll find items as small as Smart Plugs (find OhmPlugs here) and as large as mini-split heating and cooling devices - all to save you energy. You’ll also find some categories of items we recommend specifically for their energy-efficiency. Peruse the category to find the size and price point that works for you.
These items are mostly on sale for October 9-10, 2023. If you’ve been considering buying any of the items below to make your home smarter and more energy efficient, now is the time to buy!
Saves energy and money - most of the energy used in washing clothes goes into drying them. Skip that part and let nature take its course (learn more here.)
If you’re handy and want to install a mini-split to both heat and cool your home, Mr. Cool makes kits that come with pre-charged linesets.
If you can drill some holes and mount things securely, as well as have power in the right place, you can install one. You can also hire an electrician to run that power to the correct place.
Stop buying disposable bubbly waters like LaCroix and Bubly and make your own! Limiting the amount of items we throw away minimizes our carbon footprint.
Super fun to be creative in what you’re making and be able to enjoy it fresh.
For you tea and coffee lovers, it’s more energy-efficient to heat up water on an electric tea kettle than your stove, especially if your stove is gas powered.
Electronics have a bit of an outsized environmental impact when you buy them new, try looking at refurbished items first.
Be sure to check the reviews and buy only from well-known brands or product that have has third party testing of some kind.
Focus on simple electronics like external computer monitors or televisions, versus more complex ones like computers or phones, which we only recommend buying straight from the dealer and not through a third-party.
