Reading Residents: Are Your Light Fixtures Costing You More?

In the heart of Reading, homeowners often overlook the impact of outdated light fixtures on their energy bills. Linda Miller, a local resident, recently faced this revelation when she invited Iddings Electric Inc. to evaluate the lighting in her home. “Kyle and Andrew did a great job, were professional, and provided all the necessary information,” Linda shared. “I never realized how much the outdated fixtures were affecting my bills until they showed me the difference new LED fixtures could make”[1].

Understanding the Hidden Costs of Old Light Fixtures

The Energy Drain

Old light fixtures, particularly those utilizing incandescent or halogen bulbs, are notorious for their inefficiency. They consume significantly more energy compared to modern LED solutions, leading to unnecessarily high utility costs. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, LEDs use about 75% less energy and last 25 times longer than incandescent lighting.

The Maintenance and Replacement Hassle

Beyond the immediate cost of electricity, outdated fixtures also incur higher maintenance expenses. Regular bulb replacements and occasional circuit issues can take a toll on your budget over time. Linda Pfeil experienced the shift firsthand when Iddings upgraded her fixtures: “Alan, the technician, explained everything thoroughly. The problem was fixed in no time, promising long-term savings,” she noted[3].

How Modern Lighting Can Boost Your Savings

Energy-efficient Options

Switching to LED fixtures not only lowers your energy consumption but drastically reduces maintenance needs. LED lights are designed to function optimally for years, minimizing the frequency of replacements. Patricia Lohr, another Reading resident, echoed similar sentiments after her switch, commenting how pleased she was with the upfront cost explanation and the service received from Iddings Electric[2].

Improved Home Value

Modern lighting upgrades can also enhance the aesthetic appeal and market value of your home. This is particularly beneficial if you’re considering selling your property in the future. Updated lighting is a simple yet effective way to improve your home’s appeal to potential buyers.
