Last time, I discussed some of the things you can do to save on energy costs around your home. Simple ideas like thermostat upgrades and making the most of sun light. Here are some more ideas on how to save on energy cost that you might not have thought about. The Energy Crisis is here again. Dimmers CAN reduce electricity consumption Frequently, we get calls and emails from skeptics who challenge the idea that dimmers on lights actually save money.
Dimmers do indeed reduce the current or amps flowing to a load.
With a reduced current, there will be a reduced consumption by the load, measured in watts. Wall dimmers are great for providing only the amount of light you need. Just last week, this dog s master replaced a light bulb on his porch. After putting in a 75-watt bulb, since that was all he had, the porch was lighted like a television stage. A SwitchLinc 2-Way dimmer was installed on this circuit and adjusting the Resume Dim mode was easy.
