Particularly in hot summers it is tempting to use electricity to cool your entire house down. But cooling a large house, particularly rooms you aren’t using, can have an enormous environmental impact. It is important to understand how professional electricians at Alan Oxford’s can recommend products to upgrade the eco-friendliness of your home and still keep it cooler for the fast-approaching Australian summer.
Benefits of a Ceiling Fan Installation
A ceiling fan installation can have several positive impacts on your home by cooling you and your family down whilst not requiring high levels of electricity that most air conditioning units consume. Some benefits of ceiling fans include:
- In summer a ceiling fan can make a room feel up to 8 degrees cooler than the outside temperature. In comparison to other types of fans, a ceiling fan circulates a large amount of air than pedestal fans, helping to cool down you home faster.
- Economically, ceiling fans are much cheaper to run when compared with air conditioning. Using a fan can typically save up to 40% on your electricity costs.
- Uses less electricity to run, creating a smaller carbon footprint from your family’s summer cooking power usage.
- Made out of more environmentally friendly products than air conditioners. Materials such as plastics, wood and/or recycled steel are commonly used in ceiling fans, which results in less garbage and a smaller carbon footprint.
Benefits of a LED Downlight Installation
LED light installations are the most popular option for lighting in many Sydney homes. Here are a few reasons why switching from conventional lightbulbs to a LED Downlight Installation can help you this summer:
- More energy-efficient and longer lasting. This leads to long-term savings and lowers the environmental impact of electricity use. On average these lights can help you save 75% in lighting electricity.
- Free of toxic chemicals. Unlike other conventional alternatives which produce dangerous materials into the environment, such as mercury.
- LED’s are 100% recyclable. This helps reduce your families carbon footprint by one third.
- LED’s generate less heat. They release close to no UV emissions, making them less dangerous to touch, unlike traditional lightbulbs which can be very hot. They are also less likely to create unnecessary heat, cooling your home more than older light fixtures, and are less likely to damage heat sensitive objects in your home.
Benefits of a TV Wall Mount Installation
Wall mounting your TV is a popular stylistic look, but can also be a safer option for you and your family. For example, the ergonomics of a TV wall mount installation should not be overlooked. At Alan Oxford plumbing and electrical we supply and install flexible TV mounts so you can tilt and swivel your TV for the perfect viewing angle.
Securing your TV to a wall can help avoid damages and injuries in unlikely events where small children or pets are playing leading to possible unfortunate bumps, slips or trips. Mainly mounting can be safer as it allows trip hazards and electrical dangers of jumbled cables to be hidden away safely. This discrete placement of cables avoids unlikely accidents which more commonly occur in TVs stands or entertainment units. Whilst also preventing other electrical dangers for your family, including shocks, fires and electrical shorts.
