Devon Electricians – Energy Saving Recommendations

There are many ways that our Newton Abbot electricians can help, from simple changes, such as installing LED (Light-emitting diode) light bulbs, to more complex solutions from switching providers to installing solar panels. There are plenty of options to choose from to help cut down your bills:

Installing LED Light Bulbs 

By switching to energy-efficient LED or CFL light bulbs, you can help improve your overall power usage and efficiency. LED light bulbs can be used for both indoor and outdoor lighting and can last up to 20 years.

Energy-efficient lighting is available in a variety of styles and can be found at most major supermarkets or DIY shops. LED bulbs use up to 85% less energy than traditional incandescent light bulbs. With LED lights, homeowners can also enjoy the convenience of being able to control the intensity of their lighting needs with dimmers and motion sensors.

Turn Off Appliances

Turn off or even unplug appliances and chargers when they are not in use. This simple trick of not leaving your electrics on standby can help you save money and energy. (As well as helping preserve the life span of your electronics.) The older an appliance is, the more power they need to function.

Electric Heating

Datel Electrical has been supplying and installing electric heating solutions for homes and businesses across the Southwest. Our electric heating solutions can provide you with low-maintenance and fast heating solutions at a cheaper rate than traditional gas heating.

We also provide a range of Dimplex® night storage heaters, which will generate heat using cost-effective, off-peak electrical tariffs. This heat is then stored and released during the day for a worthwhile and reliable heating system.

Solar Panel Installation

Unlike most electricians in Devon, Datel Electrical offers a solar panel installation service, within a three-day turnaround. This renewable energy source has a wide range of benefits, including:

• Reduced electricity bills
• Owners are protected from rising energy costs
• Excess energy can be stored in a battery or sold back to the grid

Save Money With Regular Devon Electrical Maintenance

If you’re unsure how you can reduce your energy costs, our team of Devon electrical engineers can help by conducting regular electrical audits, EICR or PAT tests. Having annual or bi-annual electrical maintenance checks can help troubleshoot and repair any electrical issues you may have.

With our vast knowledge and expertise on all things electricity-related, our team of qualified electricians can provide invaluable advice that can help your property remain safe and efficient while potentially saving you money in the long run.

Regular electrical maintenance services can also help maintain the safety and competence of electrical systems. These services may include checking for wiring damage caused by rodents or insects, testing appliances and outlets for proper functioning, and replacing old wiring with modern standards that meet safety codes.

Regular maintenance also helps to reduce energy costs by ensuring that energy-consuming electrical devices operate at their most efficient levels.
