How to Improve Your Home's Efficiency with Electrical Upgrades

December 4, 2024

Is your home’s energy bill constantly on the rise? Do you feel like you're not getting the maximum efficiency out of your electrical system? If so, it might be time to consider some electrical upgrades to improve the efficiency of your home. At Pro-Tec Electrical Services Ltd., with over 35 years of experience, we are well-equipped to provide you with the most effective and safe electrical improvements for your home.


Here’s a detailed guide on how you can improve your home's efficiency with electrical upgrades.


Upgrade Your Home's Lighting


Lighting amounts to about 10% of a home’s electricity consumption. Therefore, switching to energy-efficient lighting options is a great way to cut back on energy use. LED bulbs use far less electricity than traditional incandescent lightbulbs and last longer. In fact, some LED bulbs could last for up to 25 years under normal home use. At Pro-Tec, we offer professional lighting design and installation services to guide you in transitioning to LED lighting.


Install Dimmers and Light Control


Having control over your lighting not only allows you to create the perfect ambiance but can also help save energy. Installing dimmers means that lights only use as much power as you need. Plus, with advanced light control systems, you can even set your lights on a timer or control them remotely. Our team at Pro-Tec is experienced in installing dimmers and light control systems to help you conserve energy.


Consider Panel and Service Upgrades


An outdated electrical panel can lead to inefficiencies and safety concerns. If your home is more than 20 years old, it may be time for a panel upgrade. A new electrical panel will be able to handle the energy demands of modern appliances and electronic devices,  making your home more efficient and safe. At Pro-Tec, we offer panel and service upgrades to help you ensure your electrical system is up-to-date and functioning optimally.


Use Energy-Efficient Appliances


Swapping out your old appliances for newer, energy-efficient models can significantly reduce the amount of electricity your home consumes. Look for appliances with the ENERGY STAR label, which means the product meets government standards for energy efficiency. While these appliances might cost more upfront, the savings in your energy bill over the life of the appliance make the investment worthwhile.


Invest in Home Automation


Home automation allows you to control various electronics and appliances in your home remotely. From adjusting your thermostat to controlling your lights, home automation can significantly decrease your home’s energy usage. If you're looking to automate your home, our team at Pro-Tec can ensure the installation is done right.

Not only will you enjoy lower energy bills, but you will also contribute to a healthier environment by reducing your carbon footprint.
