Lighting upgrades replace existing incandescent light bulbs with less energy-reliant models. Upgrades have become very commonplace in both residential and commercial applications.
Our lighting electrician can replace fluorescent lighting with much brighter and significantly more economical LED-based overhead lighting systems. Energy-efficient lighting has now become popular in offices, warehouses, and many businesses.

Can I Save Money Doing Home Lighting Upgrades

Did you know that 11% of the home energy budget in Canada is burned up for electric lighting?

According to Wikipedia, energy usage over the lifespan of standard incandescent bulbs (which have since been phased out) cost 5-10 times the original purchase price of the bulb. Compare that to Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFL light bulbs), which are also starting to be phased out in favour of LED lights, which use 1/5th to 1/3rd the electricity by comparison.

Natural Resources Canada once heralded CFL light bulbs as the cheapest source of lighting on the market. At the time, the higher initial cost was factored into the equation. However, CFLs have now given way to Everything LED. BC Hydro also offers various residential energy Rebates and Buybacks during certain times of the year.

Lighting Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, this is possible. There are dimmer switches and light fixtures that have been specially designed for use with fluorescent lights.

There is no danger when your lights dim. When you turn on your air conditioner, its demand for electricity is very high so it may cause the voltage levels to drop, which in turn dims the lights.

It is not unusual or unsafe for dimmer switches to heat up a little when they are turned to full capacity. It may only be a fire hazard if the wrong dimmer switch was installed and is unable to handle the wattage demands. If you suspect you have the wrong dimmer switch, be sure to contact our electricians in Abbotsford to address the problem.

There are a number of reasons why your lights may tend to flicker including loose or overloaded electrical wiring, a faulty light bulb, or worn out circuit breaker.

If you replace the light bulbs and your lights are still flickering, we recommend that you call our qualified lighting electrician at 604-332-1339 to have the problem properly assessed and treated.
