Mister Sparky Offers Getaway Personal savings On Dimmer Switches


Seattle, WA (PRWEB) November 23, 2011

Nothing quite sets the mood like a dimmed light. This holiday season, Seattle electrician Mister Sparky is offering a Buy 3, Get 1 Free promotion on dimmer light switches. Aside from aesthetics, dimmer switches also have a number of other benefits.

Energy Efficiency

Aside from looking nice and creating a good environment, using a dimmer switch will save electricity. This is a great way to reduce bills and help reduce our countrys energy consumption. For example, dimming the halogen lights by 25% will reduce the annual energy bill by $ 17.30. Even set at the highest brightness, a dimmer switch uses about 5% less energy than a simple on/off switch. Additionally, dimming the light will send less energy to a halogen bulb, enabling it to last up to 20 times longer than a bulb controlled by a standard light-switch.

Dimmer switches are also future proof. Not only will dimmers work with traditional halogen blubs, they are also compatible with LED (Light Emitting Diode) and CFL (Compact Fluorescent Light) light bulbs.

Federal Energy Tax Credit and Other Benefits of Energy Efficient Windows

By John O’Brien

If ever there was a good time to take advantage of a federal energy tax credit with energy efficient windows, this is the time to do it.

Not only will Uncle Sam reward you with an energy savings tax credit up to $1,500 but you also may qualify for an additional $500 rebate from participating energy companies. If you live in the Boston area or other Northern climate, you will appreciate how much energy efficient windows can save you on your heating bill. Energy Star windows, doors and skylights that qualify for this tax credit have been proven to reduce energy bills by an average of 7-24 per cent. This means that if you were replacing single pane windows, annual energy savings for an average home would be $126 to $465 and would approximate $27 to $111 when replacing double-pane clear glass windows.

Qualifications for federal energy tax credits …

Not all energy efficient windows qualify for this federal energy tax credit. In fact, not all Energy Star rated products qualify. Of the ENERGY STAR windows, doors and skylights that meet the requirements, energy efficient windows and doors must have a U-Factor rating and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient equivalent to or less than .30. They also must be installed no later than December 31, 2010. The federal energy tax credit applies to the cost of the windows and doors only. Installation costs are not included in this program.

The federal energy tax credit applies to a homeowner’s principal residence only and not all homeowners are guaranteed to qualify. It is suggested that you see your tax representative for details on reliability. If you do qualify, your tax savings from the federal energy tax credit for energy efficient windows and doors can reduce your tax liability dollar-for-dollar up to $1,500. Those who purchase $5,000 of qualifying windows, doors and skylights, receive the maximum tax credit of $1,500. This amount is then subtracted from your tax liability or the amount of tax that is owed or added to a tax refund.

Additional savings from participating energy companies …

During the 2009 calendar year, certain utilities rewarded homeowners with additional rebates for energy efficient replacement windows for their existing primary residence. The eligibility was based on the window U-factor and applied to homeowners who were residential customers of a participating utility. It is quite likely that such programs will be continued during the 2010 calendar year.

More reasons to consider energy replacement windows and doors …

If you’re not excited enough about energy savings tax programs and saving on your energy bills, consider the comfort factor when you upgrade your windows and doors. Those of you in Boston MA know precisely how unpleasant it is when cold air penetrates windows and doors and leaves you feeling chilled to your bones. Even layers of clothing and use of a portable space heater fail to surround you with warmth and comfort during cold drafty weather. Replacing your windows and doors with energy efficient products can however, do the job quite nicely as they keep you feeling warm and comfortable and without being bundled up like an Eskimo.

Need more reasons to change those old drafty windows and doors? Energy efficient windows, doors and skylights will significantly add to the beauty of your home’s exterior and interior. They are easy to clean and maintain. And when it comes time to sell, your home will be more attractive to buyers. This can produce quicker and easier sales and a higher selling price.

Proper installation is key to your energy savings with energy efficient replacement windows.

Not all contractors are alike and many are not specialists as window installers. A lack of proficiency can mean that you eliminated every bit of your energy savings and comfort value from replacing your windows. Don’t let this happen to you. Make sure you choose a contractor who is a specialist in installing energy efficient windows. Rather than buy from the local home improvement store, choose to work with a company that has expert installers and a reputation for excellent, honest, dependable and reliable customer service backed by a guarantee. This doesn’t necessarily mean you will need to pay top dollar either. In fact, if you look carefully in the Boston MA area, you will find at least one exceptional specialist contractor who will save you money, provide you with products that will qualify for energy tax credits and assure installation that will keep you snug and warm in your home all winter long.

Immediate Cost Savings With VOIP on Business Communications

By Lawrence Reaves

VOIP, or Voice over IP, is internet telephony but, it goes a great deal further than simply being able to make a phone call. The initial attraction for businesses with a VOIP system is that they so cheap – it is not unusual to see a cost reduction in excess of 50%, and the typical payback period is between 4 and 9 months. It is so simple to implement and easy to achieve huge operating cost savings for little capital expenditure, that the market is now being fuelled by larger companies adopting the technology as well as SMB’s who have previously led the way.

Deploying VOIP has no user barriers because over 100 million Americans are already using VOIP residential services; these are frequently tied into cable, internet and telephone bundles running over fiber. Business adoption is usually predicated on achieving substantial cost savings; however this quickly changes after adoption for many companies.

The initial advantages of VOIP do not just include cost savings; one huge benefit of running communications over your company network is that you start to free communications from the employee’s desk. Communications start to go mobile and this does not simply mean a cell phone – with a mobile wireless connection, the entire business communications tool set becomes available to staff wherever they are located, not just in the office.

VOIP provides for a feature-rich, communication experience with call waiting, voicemail, call forwarding and many other features which are either expensive or absent from traditional PBX telephony systems.

Moving on from the initial benefits of adopting VOIP, once the cost savings and other benefits are experienced, users themselves start to push for wider exploitation of the technology. Instant messaging and video communications are familiar to many Americans through their home computing infrastructure, even children are getting in on the act. IM and video are infiltrating the business sector, and some observers consider video communication to be one of the fastest growing and most important forms of business communication of the very near future.

As the need to improve business productivity and profitability continues, so does the exploitation of business communications. The typical C-level executive will use 5 or more communication devices and the typical employee will use at least 3 (desk phone, cell phone and email). One issue is how to leverage the benefits of a unified communications approach (frequently referred to as UC). A UC approach is made possible by moving telephony services off the traditional PBX exchange and onto the IP network.

Video communications become eminently feasible over an IP network, because the data used to make the call is exactly what the network is currently being used to transport anyway. The technology has also dramatically improved, such that picture resolution and call quality is crystal clear – there are no latency issues which gave a grainy resolution, start/stop juddering or lengthy pauses in the call. Now staff can engage in a face-to-face meeting without leaving their offices, and file sharing and work collaboration is simplified using the IP network.

Imagine a time when even your most mobile workers can simply take all the business communications tools provided at the office with them, wherever they are in the world. That time is now with a VOIP telephony system.

Low Cost Dental Savings For You

By Don Robertson

Low cost dental today, for many, has become a misnomer. Many people find that the luxury benefits, low cost dental, vision, prescription and chiropractic, are disappearing from their group policies.

The average business today is finding it increasingly difficult to provide low cost dental benefits. When costs begin to cut into business profits the benefit disappears. It is becoming more the responsibility of the individual to provide dental and other luxury benefits for the family.

One of the disappointing limits of dental insurance is the yearly spending cap (some group plans even have a lifetime cap). An average dental insurance policy will run anywhere from $30 per month to as much as $60 per month. Here is where the magic begins for the insurance company. First, they are betting that you won’t use your benefits. In that case they have a resulting profit of $360 ($30 x 12 mo) up to $720 ($60 x 12 mo) for the year. But then there is a cap or spending limit placed on your policy for the calendar year. The cap is usually around $1000.

Now here is a little calculating. If your cap is $1000 and you are paying $30 per month or $360 per year then you are subsidizing your dental plan to the amount of your premium–$360. Subtract the $360 from the $1000 and you actually have a $640 amount available to you for the calendar year. Now what if your premium is $720 per year? That would mean that you had subsidized all but $280 of your dental work for the year.

What if you need several crowns or root canals? Sorry, you have that cap to think about. You can certainly exceed the limit, but then you are on your own. Now you are paying the full price–that can be very scary. Your reserve cash, if you have any, can be siphoned off very quickly.

So how much do dental procedures cost today? They vary with the area of the United States that you live in. According to the National Dental Advisory Service you can expect to pay $1192 for a crown in the Dallas area. For a root canal the investment, depending on the type of tooth, anterior or bicuspid, is between $788 and $901. Of course if you have children or you need Orthodontic treatment yourself you can expect to pay between $4,500 and $5,000. Now those are some hefty investments that reduce your spendable income at a dizzying rate.

Are options available to save you money on your dental needs? Yes there are. One of the options that some people take advantage of, if they have major work being done, is to go out of the country. Mexico is certainly an option. India is another option. That may sound ridiculous, but consider that major dental work may be needed. The can easily exceed $10,000. If your vacation was $2000 and your dental work another $3000, then you have gone on a vacation and saved money. Although I must admit that going to the dentist while I’m on vacation is certainly not my idea of having fun. But it is an option.

Another option is sitting down with your dentist and explaining that you don’t have insurance or your insurance will not cover all of the work that is needed. It is always a good plan to discuss large outlays with your dentist. You will then know exactly what the charges will be for each procedure. During this discussion, get the plan written down and insure that it includes your dental codes. It will make it easier to track later and should the need arise you will be able to compare apples to apples. Quite often, your dentist will be able to discount some of the procedure costs. But this won’t happen unless you ask.

Today, though dental costs have risen drastically for the consumer, there is some good news. As we all know, when there is a need a solution will come along. One of the shinning solutions of dental care today is the low cost dental discount plan.

The dental discount plan provides individuals or complete households with dental saving membership plans. These membership plan monthly fees are low enough to allow any level income to take part. These plans are much like having a Sam’s or Costco card. When you use your card at Sam’s or Costco, you save money. Because you save money you use your card and keep it. That is what is happening in the dental industry today.

With your dental discount card you have pre-established discounts when you go to the dentist. These discounts can range from twenty percent all the way up to eighty percent. I’ll give you a couple of examples of savings from one of the discount plan providers. In the Dallas area, a periodic oral exam is normally $60. With the low cost dental discount plan it would be only $12 which would provide you with a savings of 80%. If you had to have a porcelain crown which is normally $1192 retail, with the discount plan it would be only $525. That would be a savings of $667 or 56%.

Dental discount plans are definitely here to stay. You can realize major savings using them. The better ones also provide additional benefits for free–such as vision, prescription and chiropractic. With just a little research, you can find a plan that is right for you, save money and insure that you and your family’s dental health are secure.

So let’s recap the three methods discussed for saving you money.

1) Go out of the country. This is certainly feasible if you have the time and inclination to do so.

2) Sit down with your dentist and work out a discount plan with him personally.

3) Enroll in a low cost dental discount plan.

Which one of these three is right for you? That is your decision. I personally am on a dental discount plan that has save me a lot of money. But the decision is ultimately yours. Just understand that low cost dental is available for you and your family if you are willing to take responsibility, research your options and exercise due diligence.

My hope for you is that you will find the plan that is right for you. So that instead of having more month at the end of the money you will now have more money at the end of the month and you will be able to enjoy your family’s health and confidence.

Actually what amount will LED bulbs honestly save you?

There is a great quantity of evidence pointing to the energy savings of LED bulbs but in contrast they do have a particularly high price tag. Another factor in their benefit is long life and high reliability so how do you evaluate whether they are worth purchasing? If you want to get a correct perspective on the commercials you need to work out the total cost of ownership and use of LED Bulbs and compare this to established incandescent light bulbs.

Total cost of ownership evaluation.

In order to perform this calculation it is prudent firstly, to add the purchase cost for the LED bulb to the working cost for this bulb. Now as LED bulbs will ordinarily last 30 times longer than a traditional light bulb then you then need to add the operating costs and 30 conventional light bulbs.

Candle shaped 3watt LED example.

A cost of 15 pence for every kWhour of electricity used has been assumed for these calculations.
The price of a 3 watt LED candle is approx. £15. The electricity fees over the life span of the LED bulb works out at £13.50. This leaves a total lifetime expense of £28.50.
This LED candle light bulb gives approximately the analogous lumens light output to a 25 watt traditional light bulb. A everyday bulb will have a lifetime of anywhere around1000 hours.
At 30 pence for each candle bulb then the cost of 30 equates to £24. To operate the candle light bulb for 30k hours costs £112.50. For 30000 hours this indicates that the traditional light bulb would have a total operating cost of £136.50.
The answer is a saving of a massive £108 by means of the purchase of the 3w LED candle bulb over the life of the bulb. This means that through the purchase of the LED candle bulb a huge saving of £108 is accrued over it’s lifespan.
I’m sure you will agree that this demonstates the astounding savings you get through using LED bulbs!

MR16 LED comparison for a 3 watt lamp.

The calculation for the 3 watt MR16 uses a similar logic so I will not go through each and every step. As the logic for the assessment for the 3 watt MR16 is identical I will not detail the entire calculation. The major consideration here is that the MR16 LED’s can be selected either as a 48 LED lamp or with high power LED’s. Here we need to accommodate for the difference in purchase expenditure with the 48 LED version costing mostly £10 and the high power version costing usually £15. The high powered LED’s will illuminate with a single or triple beam whereas the 48 LED lamps have 48 different light sources.
The price of the MR16′s is assumed to be 80 pence as with the candles which means that the lifetime savings are;
A saving of £113 is attained through the use of the 48 LED MR16 during its lifetime.
You can easily save £108 through the use of the high powered MR16 LED over their life.
Again the savings are monstrous and only vary by 4.5% across the different variants of LED bulbs.
