Advantages of a dimmer switch

 


A dimmer switch provides an adjustable voltage to a luminaire. This controls the brightness of a luminaire, allowing it to become brighter or dimmer. Dimmer switches are very safe and efficient. No special wiring is required to install a residential dimmer switch. There are so many dimmer switches out there that you have to be prepared to make difficult choices when purchasing. Dimmer switches offer many advantages to home lighting needs. The lighting in a room is one of the first things you notice when you enter. Excessive lighting can be annoying. Insufficient light can strain the eyes. The best way to control the lighting in a room is to use a dimmer switch. In this way, the lighting can be optimally adjusted. 

Dimmer switches save energy

When dimming a light, you save up to 98% energy and up to about 10% on your energy bill. Dimmers dim lighting to a preset level. You have total control over the amount of light used in a room. By reducing the power of the lighting, you reduce the wear and tear on the light and thus the life of the bulb.

Lighting control

You can control the dimmer switch with a knob or by sliding the switch up and down. Today, with the latest dimmer switches, it is possible to control the amount of light with a remote control. Touch dimmers allow you to change the lighting at the touch of a button. You can set the mood of each room in which the lighting is set with the dimmer switch. You can use dimmer switch lighting in living rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms and breakfast nooks. Just being able to raise or lower a traditional switch to turn the light on or off does not give you total control over the amount of light in the room.

Longevity of dimmer switches

The light bulbs you use last longer when you use a dimmer switch to keep them on. If you dim the lights by at least 25%, you save about 1/5 of the electricity needed. The softer the lamp is dimmed, the longer it lasts.

Dimming fluorescent lights

It is possible to dim fluorescent lights, but the effect on the room will be different. Instead of the warm appearance of candlelight, the colour of a fluorescent bulb will maintain a cooler appearance. Dimming a fluorescent bulb will not prolong its life as in the case of an incandescent bulb. However, dimming fluorescent bulbs is less expensive and more convenient.

Troubleshooting water heater problems: Noisy pipes

 Noisy pipes can be caused by problems with the water heater. When you start hearing noises in the water pipes, these can be caused by air or lack of air, obstructions and blockages in the water line. Here are some steps you can take to identify the problem. Water hammer Water hammer is a dull sound that results from the sudden pressurisation of the water line caused by the rapid closing of a tap or other water valve. The water rises rapidly, causing a loud hammering sound in the pipes. This damages the pipes over time. Water hammer only occurs when water is not flowing. You can rule out water hammer if you hear the noise while the water is flowing. Shut off the water supply to your house and drain the water from the pipes by opening a low tap, such as an outside tap or a tub. Turn off all taps and turn the water back on in the house by opening a tap and closing it. If you do not hear the clunk noise, the problem is a water hammer.
