Tips for Saving Energy

• Turn off lights in empty rooms.
  Sounds easy enough, but many rooms remain unoccupied with the lights on for 40% to 70% of the time, wasting energy and money.
• Dim your lights. Dimming your lights just 25% saves 20% in energy.
  Explore all of your light dimming options from individual wall dimmers to whole house controls. Visit the Wolfers Green Zone to play with lighting design and create different scenes.
• Replace incandescent light bulbs with energy efficient light sources.
  Energy-saving light sources, like LED lights, compact fluorescents, and halogens, should replace your incandescent light bulbs. Halogen light bulbs are up to 30% more efficient than incandescent light bulbs.
• Use ceiling fans.
  Ceiling fans provide a cooling effect that allows you to raise your thermostat a few degrees higher while staying cool. At Wolfers, we carry the finest ceiling fans. Save money and save energy without sacrificing comfort.
• Replace line voltage systems with low voltage systems.
  Low voltage lighting systems, which can be designed to operate efficiently at lower wattages than line voltage systems, allow the use of lamps that are extremely compact and still provide high lumen output.¹
