Summer is here, and with the warm weather, your electric bill is likely to rise. As you run air conditioners, fans, and other appliances to stay cool, your energy usage may be higher than usual. However, there are a few simple changes you can make to reduce your energy consumption and lower your electric bill. At ProLectric Electrical Contractors, we’ve put together some practical tips that can help you save money while ensuring your electrical systems are running efficiently.
1. Upgrade to Energy-Efficient Lighting
Lighting can account for a significant portion of your electricity bill. If you haven’t already, consider switching out your old incandescent bulbs for energy-efficient LED or CFL bulbs. These bulbs use far less energy and last much longer, helping you save money in the long run. Whether you’re looking for indoor lighting or need to brighten up your outdoor spaces, our team at ProLectric can help you with installation and upgrades for all your lighting needs.
2. Install a Programmable Thermostat
One of the biggest contributors to high energy bills is an inefficient heating and cooling system. A programmable thermostat allows you to set your home’s temperature based on your schedule, ensuring you’re not wasting energy when you’re not at home. Set the thermostat to cool your home before you arrive, and raise it when you leave. Our electricians can help install and program your new thermostat for optimal efficiency, so you’re only using energy when you need it.
3. Schedule an Electrical Inspection
If you haven’t had an electrical inspection in a while, now is the perfect time. Regular maintenance ensures that your electrical system is running at its best and can help identify any issues that might be causing inefficiency. Whether it’s outdated wiring, malfunctioning outlets, or a circuit that’s overloaded, addressing these problems can reduce the amount of energy your home or business consumes. At ProLectric, our team provides comprehensive home electrical inspections and maintenance to ensure your system is working efficiently.
4. Consider Whole House Surge Protection
Investing in whole-house surge protection can save you money and help preserve your valuable electronics. Power surges can damage appliances like refrigerators, computers, and TVs, leading to costly repairs or replacements. By installing surge protection at the main electrical panel, you can protect all of your appliances and electronics from unexpected surges. ProLectric can install surge protection systems for your home or business, giving you peace of mind knowing your equipment is safe.
5. Upgrade Your Electrical Panel
If your electrical panel is outdated or unable to handle the demands of modern appliances and electronics, it might be time for an upgrade. An outdated panel can lead to frequent tripping breakers, inefficient energy use, and even safety hazards. Upgrading your panel to a newer, more efficient model can help prevent these issues, reduce energy loss, and ensure your home’s electrical system is up to code. Our expert electricians can help you with electrical panel installation, replacement, and upgrades, tailored to your home’s needs.
