3 Reasons To Upgrade to Dimmer Switches

1. Lower Energy Use

With a conventional lightswitch there are two energy levels 0 or 100%. With a dimmer switch you may find that using only 10% of a bulb's light output is perfect for lighting a particular location. This can add up to significant savings over time.

2. Increased Lightbulb Lifespan

By reducing the amount of electricity sent to light bulbs you will lower the heat and intensity from the bulb, extending its lifespan.

3. Ambience

Perhaps the most popular reason people choose to install dimmer switches is the control they provide over the quality of lighting in the home. Reducing the light intesity can create the perfect mood for any space. For all your home electrical upgrades, call ABC Plumbing, Sewer, Heating, Cooling and Electric.
