A Bright Idea in Energy-Efficient Lighting | Teems Electric

Do you feel like your power bill is constantly on the rise? It might not necessarily be your utility company’s fault. You may be sabotaging your own energy bill by sticking with less energy-efficient lighting.

That’s why our team at Teems Electric wants to offer you tips on how to choose the right lighting for your home so that you can both save on energy each month and protect the environment—a win-win!

Choose the Right Lighting

Let’s take a look at ways you can improve the lighting in your home while also sticking to your budget.

First, you want to make sure you choose the most energy-efficient lighting possible. There are currently three possible types of energy-efficient lighting you can use in your home:

• Low-voltage halogen
• LED
• Energy-saving lamps

Second, you want to make sure you are only lighting your home when necessary. If you are not in the room, it shouldn’t be necessary to have the lights on. Therefore, only use the lighting you need at the moment and turn the lights off when you leave the room.

Why leave the meter running when you are not even using the lights, right? That is just going to end up costing you more money than you need to spend on electricity for the month.

Finally, you might also want to consider changing the colors of certain rooms inside your home, especially the rooms that you use the most often.

When you use bright colors on the walls and ceiling of your rooms, the lighting used within is illuminated and reflected more; therefore, less power is needed to light up the room!
