Benefits of Energy Efficient Lighting

Unsure about the benefits of energy-efficient lighting? Continue reading to discover more!
Cost Efficiency
Perhaps the most obvious benefit of energy-efficient lighting is the money it can save you in the long run. In short, incandescent bulbs require much more energy consumption than LED or CFL alternatives. No residential electrician should argue this fact. While the difference may be small in one light fixture, the cost savings truly start to add up when you complete a full LED lighting upgrade with your residential electrician.
LED/CFL Bulbs are More Stable
LED and CFL bulbs are better constructed to deal with extreme temperatures, weather swings, and outdoor use. Whereas incandescent bulbs have a tendency to break in extreme temperatures, LED and CFL bulbs are much more stable. Further LED and CFL bulbs produce less heat – which translates to more cost savings in the hot summer months.
Increased Lifespans
Another measurable benefit of energy-efficient bulbs is their lifespan. While these bulbs do cost a bit more upfront, you will find yourself replacing them far less. In fact, their lifespan can be one to many years longer than a standard incandescent bulb. This, in turn, will save you money while also saving on excess trash and waste.
Lessen your Environmental Impact
All of the above benefits play into the one big item we should all strive for: lessening our environmental impact. Consuming less power in your home equates to reducing your carbon footprint on a global scale, and reducing the trash you produce by going through incandescent bulb after incandescent bulb helps on a more local scale!

Dante Gorn2024-01-15Very friendly, fast and efficient. Charges by time but definitely doesn't waste time. The job was done within 5-10 minutes and everything is working as it should.
Roberto Gonsalves2024-01-12I highly recommend Harman ! He helped me out when I was in a crunch with the apartment building I'm managing . He will for sure be the guy I call for this buildings electrical issues going forward. Thanks again Harman!
Amneet Khaira2024-01-11Full disclosure - I am Harm's sister but I've decided that it's finally time to leave his company a review. You can see through the 200 + reviews that Harm and his team are reliable. My husband and I have used Wireman for a number of years for various projects. They do great work and leave the site clean. On top of that, Harm is easy to deal with and is honest when providing electrical advice. Keep up the great work!
Merlin Oldejans2023-06-01Wireman Electric did an excellent job from start to finish. The crew were professional and always showed up on time. The quality of work was great and I am happy to recommend them!
The Centre for Child Development2023-04-03Harm was extremely professional and committed, persisting to find a solution for our portable power situation. He worked with us to get our portable onto a dedicated electrical service instead of being powered by a gas generator! As a non-profit organization, every penny counts and this will lower our costs and our carbon footprint. Thank you to Harm and your team for a great job!!
Jesse Davidge2023-03-02We had a 400amp service installed at my house. Harman and his team did a great job and were very responsive to any questions/concerns I had. Appreciate the work they did.

Barry Warne2022-10-19Top notch crew! Expedient. Friendly. Prompt and professional.
VM Travis2022-09-20Second time using their services because I was impressed by the great service they provided regarding installing my bathroom fan. Ali came this time to fix 2 outlets in my kitchen. After checking both out, it turned out only 1 needed fixing. He explained to me what the issue was and also checked out why 1 outlet that had a smart plug that was not working. Don't call anyone else! This company is the best.
Tanya Zukewich2022-05-31Wire-Man Electric is awesome! Harman and his crew are great! They came on time, were professional and cleaned up before they left. I would recommend this company to do any electrical work.
