Replace your standard incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs
Using energy-efficient lighting, such as CFL’s (compact fluorescent lights), can greatly cut your lighting costs. In fact, CFL’s use about 75% less energy than standard incandescent bulbs! CFL’s produce less heat than standard bulbs and also last about 10 times longer than incandescent light bulbs.
Install dimmers and occupancy sensors
Since fluorescent lights are not always the suitable look for decorative lighting (such as chandeliers and wall sconces) we can install dimmers for your incandescent lights. By dimming the lights, you can significantly reduce the amount of electricity required. Dimmers will also extend the life of your incandescent light bulb. Occupancy senors are excellent for rooms, such as garages, where it is easy to forget that the lights are on. Lights are automatically turned on when somebody enters the room and shut off when the room is vacant. This greatly reduces lighting costs since lights are never left on when they are not in use.
Upgrade your thermostat
Upgrading your old analog thermostat with a programmable digital thermostat can reduce energy waste. Not only are newer thermostats more accurate and reliable, they also allow you to have multiple temperature settings throughout the day so you can have you air conditioning automatically turn off when you are away from home.
Install ceiling fans
We can install a ceiling fan for you to reduce your air conditioning usage, since ceiling fans can make a room appear nearly 4 degrees cooler.
