3 Electrical Upgrades that can save you money

Many people believe that the only time they need to call an electrician is when something is wrong in their home. That statement is false. There are a number of jobs you can call an electrician for that can make your home safer, more efficient and can save you money!
 
Light fixtures - Want to remodel a bedroom, family room, or den? Before you start knocking down walls, think of what a difference new lighting will make. With so many designs and styles of lighting, including recessed lighting and track lighting, you can create a truly new look without even changing the paint!
 
Ceiling Fans - Adding a ceiling fan to your bedroom or living room can help lower your heating and cooling costs, improve airflow in the room and can add some style to a room. There are a massive amount of ceiling fan designs and styles to choose from. Fans circulate air and keep things from getting stuffy and hot in the summer and even the winter months.
 
Bathroom Fans - adding or upgrading exhaust fans can actually make your home much safer and more comfortable. Bathroom fans pull in moisture from the bathroom when you take a shower (or from steam in the kitchen when cooking), which prevents water damage and inhibits the growth of mold and mildew. There are now bath fans available that include lights and heaters to add some warmth and light to your bathroom as well.
 
Upgrading your electrical system does not have to mean a complete overhaul of your home's wiring - a few minor tweaks can get you saving money and living more comfortably, day in and day out! If you are interested in any electrical upgrades in your home, call Quality Electric Service.
