Electricity costs continue to rise — but the good news is, you can lower your bill without sacrificing comfort. Many energy-saving improvements start with small electrical changes that pay off month after month.
Lighting can account for up to 15% of your energy use. Swapping out older bulbs for LED lighting reduces energy use by up to 80%. Adding smart dimmers and motion sensors ensures lights only run when needed.
Devices like TVs, gaming consoles, and chargers draw power even when off. Plug them into smart power strips or unplug when not in use to cut unnecessary energy waste.
If your major appliances are more than 10 years old, they’re likely consuming more energy than necessary. When you replace them, look for ENERGY STAR® certified options and have a professional electrician confirm proper wiring and voltage.
Outdated or loose wiring can cause energy loss, overheating, and inefficiency. Scheduling a professional electrical inspection ensures everything operates safely and efficiently.
Homes in Erie and Northwestern Pennsylvania experience wide temperature swings. Using ceiling fans in the summer and reversing them in winter can help balance comfort while reducing HVAC demand.
