Electricity prices are rising, and homeowners everywhere are seeking strategies to reduce spending without forgoing comfort. One of the easiest changes you can make now is to replace your old lighting fixtures with more energy-efficient ones. 

These fixtures not only use less electricity, but they also last longer and provide your home with a modern look. At King Installation, we assist New Yorkers in improving their homes with energy-efficient solutions that have an impact!

Why Energy-Efficient Lighting Will Be Trending by 2025

Lighting accounts for roughly 15 percent of your electric bill. It doesn’t sound like a lot at first, but it can add up. In conventional incandescent bulbs, much of the energy consumed is lost as heat. Energy-efficient alternatives, however, such as LED and CFL bulbs, consume far less power and last much longer. With the cost of smart lighting technology and motion sensors dropping, the potential savings in 2025 will be even greater.

But upgrading your fixtures isn’t just tucking dollars back into your energy bill, you’re also working to make an impact on the planet by decreasing your carbon footprint. It’s good for both your wallet and the planet.

Want to discuss strategies for making your lighting more efficient? Just give us a call at King Installation and we’ll help you decide what’s a good fit for you.

Why Use Energy-Efficient Fixtures?

The top categories are led ceiling lights, recessed ceiling lights, and under-cabinet strip lighting. They are also very bright while consuming very little power. Dimmable LED fixtures allow you to adjust light levels and save even more. Smart bulbs that can pair with your phone or your voice assistant mean you don’t have to fumble with an old-school timer, which can lead to warm, unnecessary bulbs or missed time intervals.

Doing so, however, can reduce lighting costs as much as 80% among other fixtures, such as LED recessed lights in a living room. And these lights last for over 10 years, most of the time, so you won’t be changing things out anytime soon.

If you’re not sure which fixture will work for your room, take a look at our Fixture Installation services. We can help you select and install the right lights for your home.

Costs and Examples of Savings

There are efficient light fixtures in a variety of styles and at a wide range of costs. A basic LED ceiling light might run between $25 and $50, with high-end smart fixtures that dim and have motion sensors reaching $100 to $250. These have a higher upfront cost than traditional lights, but the savings over time more than compensate.

Say you swap out 10 incandescent bulbs for LED fixtures. At $5 a month in savings for each new fixture, that’s $600 in savings over the next year. Toss in less maintenance and the cost savings multiply.
