Greening your home promotes energy savings. Adding just lighting controls, such as dimmers, occupancy/daylight sensors and timers can have a big impact on a home’s electric bill.
- Lighting Controls (Dimmers) - Every time you dim the lights you save energy. Dimming by 25%, for example saves about 20% energy while prolonging the life of your bulb. Energy savings is not only benefit, dimming the lights helps to create the perfect mood or ambiance for any activity.
- Sensors – Occupancy sensors turn lights on/off automatically. Daylight sensors automatically dim the lights when there’s sufficient daylight coming into the room. Having that perfect balance of electric light and daylight can make a room more inviting.
- Timers – Timers are valuable for lights or fans that need to be on for a certain amount of time, but shouldn’t be running all day.
- Light Fixtures – CFLs and LEDs already use less energy than standard bulbs, so that controlling fixtures that use these bulbs result in even more additional energy savings
- Shade Control – Automated shades help lower cooling costs in summer and heating costs in winter. In fact, adjusting shades based on the season can save you 10 – 30%* on heating and cooling costs. In addition, shades help increase privacy and enhance security.
- Small Appliance Control – Many electronics, such as computers and TVs continue to draw electricity even when they are turned off. This standby power can amount to up to 10% of a home’s electricity usage.
- Temperature Control – Temperature control helps you save on heating and cooling costs. Simply setting back the temperature when a room is unoccupied can help you save on your electric bills. Integrating all these products together via a whole home solution to work effortlessly and simply not only adds a “wow” factor, but helps maximize energy savings.
