Absolutely. Not a little bit significantly. Ceiling fans create a wind-chill effect that makes rooms feel 6-8 degrees cooler without changing actual temperature. So you can set your thermostat 5-7 degrees higher while feeling just as comfortable. Since AC costs go up roughly 3-5% per degree, that’s a huge savings.
Lighting Solutions in Westchester NY
Most older Westchester homes have terrible lighting. One ceiling fixture trying to light a whole room. Old fluorescent tubes in kitchens that make everything look like a morgue. No dimming options. Dark hallways where you need a flashlight at night.
The thing is, lighting affects everything how your house feels, how much you pay Con Ed, whether you can actually see what you're doing. We do comprehensive lighting solutions throughout Westchester, from simple LED upgrades to complete smart lighting systems you control from your phone. The LED lighting solutions we install typically pay for themselves in energy savings within 2-3 years. Smart lighting solutions let you dim lights, change colors, set schedules, and control everything remotely.
Common Issues We Handle:
- Rooms that feel dark even with all the lights on – Wrong bulb temperature, poor fixture placement, or just not enough light
- Kitchen counters you can't see when you're cooking – Standing in your own shadow because there's no under-cabinet lighting
- Electric bills that make you cry – Old incandescent and fluorescent fixtures burning through electricity
- No control over brightness or mood – Everything's either full-blast bright or off, no dimming options
- Outdated fixtures that make your house look stuck in 1987 – Brown plastic ceiling fixtures with fake brass, fluorescent kitchen boxes
