Sensing the Savings

If you or someone in your family is fairly forgetful when it comes to turning off light switches, a few motion detectors may be just what you need

Did you know that lighting your home contributes about 12-15 percent of your total electric bill?

Save yourself some money and invest in motion detecting lights in areas of your home that are often less occupied. This way, the light will switch on when someone enters the room and go off again after a set period of time when no movement is detected. This prevents a light in remote corner of the house from being on needlessly for hours at a time. If you or someone in your family is fairly forgetful when it comes to turning off light switches, a few motion detectors may be just what you need. Some great places for motion sensing lights in the home include the front door, front and back yard, basement, attic,-or laundry room.  Besides being energy efficient, motion sensing lights outside your house provide a measure of security.

Indoor switches range from $15 to $45 and a basic outdoor flood light cost around $16. Whether or not you choose to install motion sensors, remember to pay attention to the lights in your house. It’s one of the ways the little changes add up to savings on your electric bill.
