Question

my bills have doubbled since we installed 9 chandelers, will my electric bill go down if we dim the lights?

Answer 1

No,because dimmers do not save you any power.If you want to save power change the bulbs to lower wattage and or remove some home appliances that you leave in a standby mode.

Answer 2

If you dim the lights it may cost you more (for fixing your nose after bumping into everything).
You need to use lower watt bulbs. Unfortunately, I don't think they're available in the small bulbs of chandeliers, unless you can use the type used on Christmas trees.

Answer 3

Set the A/C at seventy 8, close all blinds and drapes early interior the morning and pass away till night, turn off lighting fixtures fixtures whilst no longer in use (in addition they generate various warmth), decrease the temperature of the water heater, replace bulbs with CFL bulbs (purchase on-sale basically), use followers, close off computer and television except in use, cut back beginning doorways, cut back time refrigerator is open. use outfits washing device and dryer basically for finished a lot and set water at chilly or heat, think of of different procedures!

Answer 4

well you have NINE chandelers! of course your bill went up

and no, dimming is not cutting power. use a lower wattage of bulbs or dont run them all the time.

Answer 5

There are energy efficient bulbs. They are more expensive to purchase initially but they last longer and use less electricity.

Answer 6

no all you need to do is change the bulb to a smaller watt rate

Answer 7

NO ............On is On............and off is off !

When we are not in a room there is no light on.........Only turn it on if you are to be in there...........Our electric bills are low....We are very conservative !!!!
