The Living Room If you have a larger living room with high ceilings, you may want to choose an attractive lighting fixture, such as a chandelier to serve as the room’s focal point. Ceiling fans are also a popular choice for living rooms, but extra mood lighting may be necessary to ensure the room is well lit.

If you are wanting to have accents to the room, consider adding some attractive wall sconces. These play a major role in the aesthetics. Adding table lamps or floor lamps can play a major role in the overall mood of the room.

The Dining Room In the dining area, you want to put an emphasis on the table. To add to the appearance, add a chandelier or a pendant light that hangs low directly above the table. It is easier to light the dining room because the table is always the focal point of the room.

The Kitchen You want to ensure your kitchen is well lit. Because it requires a lot of lighting, you may want to incorporate more than one kind of lighting fixture into the room. One popular combination involves chandeliers and pendant lamps. Accent key areas by adding in track lighting or spotlights.

Bedroom You want a relaxing mood in the bedroom, so you may want to include task lighting such as reading lamps. You can create an attractive backdrop by throwing in some accent lighting. Lamps are always popular in bedrooms, of course, but if you add pendant lighting you can make the room have a different and interesting appearance.

The DC area is likely to see more rain over the next few months as fall weather arrives. Among the many issues that homeowners could face if the rain is particularly torrential is flooding.

There are always things you need to buy. Sometimes life likes to throw little emergencies your way and you will be short on funds. Wouldn’t it be nice to find ways to save money on your monthly bills so you were prepared for those little emergencies? You may have noticed your electric bill going up. This is something you can expect to continue happening for the months and years to come. That electric bill is going to cut into your budget and make things a little tighter. Your Glendale electrician has some tips to help you lower your electric bill and keep a little extra money in your pocket. The team at The Electric Connection is here to help.

Replacing Light Bulbs

If you haven’t done it yet, you need to get rid of those old bulbs that are sucking electricity and running up your bill. Replace those bulbs with CFLs or have an electrician in Glendale install LED fixtures. CFLs use about 75 percent less electricity than incandescent and LEDs use about 90 percent less.

Use Less Hot Water

Shave a few minutes off of your daily shower. When washing your hands, rinse and shut off the water while you are lathering up and scrubbing. Turn on the water and then shut off again. Only wash full loads of dishes and consider turning the setting on your clothes washer to warm or cold water.

Unplug Appliances

It may not seem like a big deal, but every single thing that you have plugged in is drawing electricity explains an electrician. Glendale residents can save a few dollars every day by unplugging cell phone chargers, laptop chargers and even gaming systems that they don’t use regularly. Anything that is plugged in is drawing a small current. It is something known as phantom electricity.

These three things are easy and will not change your lifestyle in anyway, but they will save you money. If you have questions about energy savings or want to install energy-efficient light fixtures, give The Electric Connection a call today.

Fun Fact:  “To talk turkey,” means to speak candidly, directly, plainly and/or bluntly. There are several possible explanations to the origin of this phrase.  Some support a link to uncensored familial conversation around the Thanksgiving dinner table; Others say the phrase is linked to the actual sounds a turkey makes, because the male turkey’s “gobble, gobble” is a basic, unadorned, matter-of-fact kind of vocalization.
