4 Ways to Save Money with Electrical Upgrades


Even though it appears as though the economy around the globe is getting back on an even keel, there is always a need to save money. No one knows what tomorrow may bring and if you have any hope of tucking some money aside for that rainy day that just might come again in the future, one of the best ways to save a tidy sum is with a few electrical upgrades that can greatly reduce what you spend month after month. Here are a few of the best ways to save money.

1. Automate Wherever Possible


How many times have you yelled at the kids for leaving the outside lights on when they come in after meeting with friends in the evening? Or what about all those times you forgot to turn off the basement lights off when coming up from the root cellar? Some families like to turn off the hot water heater at night to save money and others still want to set climate control to switch off at certain times of the day or night when heat or air conditioning just aren’t needed. An electrician can actually hard wire automatic controls into circuits so that all the guess work is taken out and with a simple smartphone app you can even remotely control all your automated settings from wherever you happen to be.

2. Energy Efficient Appliances


This one should go without saying. There have been tons of commercials over the past few years on the way in which energy efficient appliances can save the average household a good sum of money each and every month, but it does bear mentioning again because this really is one of the ways to save money over the long term. It is suggested that you simply change to an appliance that is more energy efficient as each one reaches the end of its lifespan. In this way, you don’t have a huge layout of money all at one time but will be chipping away at what you pay to power those appliances one machine at a time.

3. Solar Power Systems


Solar Power Systems are becoming more affordable with each passing year and with advances in technology, it doesn’t make sense not to have a solar system on your rooftop. Not only can you power your home but you can feed power into the grid for others to use and within a very short time those solar panels can pay for themselves.

4. Rewiring Old Circuits


Here is one that few people actually stop to think about. Did you know that older wiring in a house can become faulty, causing energy loss day in and day out? A little trickle here and a little trickle there and before you know it, you’re spending a lot more money on electric than you’re using! Get faulty old wiring replaced as soon as possible.

The average household spends altogether too much money on waste each and every year. Why not take care of those problem areas one by one so that within just a few short years your energy bill will be reduced to just a fraction of what you are paying now. By upgrading today you are saving for your future and with uncertain times ahead, that may be one of the wisest moves you’ll ever make.

6. 4 Common Mistakes People Make when Renovating their Bathroom

Your kitchen may be the official heart of the home, the central nerve center where the family meets over meals and performs tasks from paying bills to playing games, but your bathrooms are the rooms where you come again and again. Your bathroom is where you come to take relaxing baths, spend hours when ill and stare at that same ugly tile for half an hour as you get ready in the morning. That’s why bathroom renovations rival kitchen renovations on home makeover lists. Here are four common mistakes people make when renovating their bathroom. Spending Too Much How much is too much when you are renovating a bathroom? A good rule of thumb is not to spend more than five to ten percent of the home’s value on renovating a bathroom, since you can’t recoup more than a fraction of the investment when the house is sold later. The only exception is when you are adding a new bathroom to the house to bring it up to the neighborhood average. For example, if you have a three bedroom single bathroom ol...

Mini Storage Can Help Your De-Clutter Your Home

Your home has the ability to feel like an oasis in the middle of the city – your personal refuge from the traffic and congestion that always manages to clog up Thornhill. Unfortunately, for far too many people, this isn’t the case, as they come home to a cluttered and disorganized space. It isn’t that their homes are dirty. They’ve just accumulated a lot of junk, and too much of it can hinder their ability to let loose and relax after a long, hard day. Believe it or not, it’s true. Clutter has been found to affect the brain negatively. A recent study conducted by researchers at the Princeton University Neuroscience Institute found that the average person finds it difficult to concentrate in a chaotic environment. It also diminishes your ability to process information as the visual stimuli of clutter distract your brain. When exposed to clutter for longer periods of time, your brain can suffer from fatigue and result in negative mental experiences. If you’ve been feeling anxious or frus...

Spring Maintenance Tasks You Need to Start Considering

Spring is the season of renewal, so there really is no better time to start some maintenance tasks around your home that will keep your property looking its best. When it comes to spring maintenance, though, it’s a great idea to have your HOA take a look at your house’s exterior, from the roof all the way to the foundation, to make sure everything is in ideal condition for the upcoming summer season. Continue reading to learn more. Look for Damages Caused by the Winter The winter season can be brutal on your home, so the spring is the perfect opportunity to see if there has been any damage left behind from the wind, snow, ice, and freezing temperatures your house had to endure. A good place to start is by looking at the roof, which you can do surprisingly easily using binoculars rather than climbing up to it. You should keep an eye out for missing, curled, or loose shingles, damaged or bent flashing surrounding your chimney or any points where the house makes contact with the roof. Als...
