Smart meters provide daily household energy use data to both the home’s occupant and the utility company. This level of information can be used – by the consumer or by any electrical service provider– to identify strategies to reduce power use, save money, and reduce their carbon footprint.

What Is a Smart Meter for Electricity?

In simple terms, A smart meter is an upgraded version of your regular analog meter, only with more beneficial features. It records your household’s power consumption and uses two-way radio signals similar to cell phones and Wi-Fi to transmit that information to the utility company. This flow of data provides the utility and the customer with updated usage information and more accurate billing. Over the decade, utility companies have been gradually rolling out smart electricity meters across the country.

Error-Free Meter Reading

It is not feasible for meter readers to visit every analog meter every month, every other month’s bill is estimated for consumers with analog meters resulting in unexpectedly high actual bills to make up for low estimated bills. Smart meters will give you an accurate reading based on actual daily power usage data, so you never pay too much or too little.

Easy Monitor & Maintenance

As there is a constant flow of usage data coming from customers’ homes, utilities can offer faster power outage detection and resolution. Also since it’s easier to get your usage data you can cut back on unnecessary usage of electricity with smart electricity meters and save money.

Smart meter save money!

Monitoring the usage of the energy we consume. Usually, mornings, afternoons and evenings on a weekday are the time when energy consumption is high and nighttime (when we’re asleep) is when it’s low. Suppose, if a high number of electricity customers shift their energy use to off-peak times, there’s less need for expensive Electrical Installation Services as the current network infrastructure can be used more efficiently. With no more in-person meter reading visits, costs are reduced for the utility company and those savings can be passed on to customers.

Also, retailers offer flexible pricing plans or time-of-use tariffs to customers with interval and smart meters to incentivise customers to use cheaper, off-peak energy.

Take Control of Electricity Costs with Inlightech

If your retailer hasn’t installed a smart energy meter, contact us to make Electrical Installation Services for a power consumption meter at your electrical panel, which will provide you with real-time energy usage information to help you reduce your energy bills. We can use that information, or information from your smart meter, to consult with you about strategies to reduce your utility costs and lower your carbon footprint.

Looking for saving energy costs? It is one of the simplest ways for schools to, collectively, save millions of Australian Dollars a year.  Saving Electricity in a school is a responsibility of each and everyone at the school, it not just about saving on money but an act of conserving the environment by reducing carbon footprints

Did you know? – that Lighting comprises almost 50% of the electricity used by schools

There’s also more to saving electricity than reducing energy tariffs; schools should look to reduce carbon footprints and energy consumption within their own walls

Reducing energy consumption

Reports say that more than 20% of the energy was not consumed by schools properly, If we use proper housekeeping alone they can reduce energy bills by 10%.

Top tips for saving energy

• Saving energy requires every last hand in the school and have your students come up with ideas to secure energy savings.
• Swap desktop computers with laptop computers as these consume far less energy.
• Energy-Star appliances help to use energy more efficiently.
• Swap all your CFL bulbs, incandescent lights with LED or energy-efficient fluorescents – they last ten times longer and are four times more efficient.
• Turn off lights when not in use.
• Install a Smart Thermostat that comes on in the morning and is turned off at night.
• Check that building are properly insulated.
• Make use of natural lighting as much as possible.
• Using smarter metering to get your electricity reading helps you to monitor energy use and identify potential energy efficiencies.

Similarly, Longer-term energy-efficient investments are:

• Installing solar panels
• Re-insulating your buildings
• Upgrading your heating and cooling systems
• Investing in new energy-efficient equipment.

With more schools focusing on effective energy management, plus efficiencies, schools in the Australian stand not only to save money on energy bills but to lessen their carbon footprints in the process – a win-win for all!

Sometimes your beloved canine or feline can develop the habit of chewing electrical power cords. Besides being an obnoxious quirk, any gnawed power cord can pose a shock hazard to your pets or family.

Inlightech provides some useful tips on how to keep your pets from chewing power cords.

Why Do Canines and Felines Chew Power Cords?

Although the motivations of the four-legged pals’ mind for chewing cords are not fully understood, there are a few theories about this. A Feline might find a power cord resembling the tail of a prey animal, which triggers their instinct to attack it. Canines chew to strengthen their teeth and gums or to relieve boredom or anxiety. People are not the only ones that can get a toothache. Pets also suffer from dental discomfort, which could result in them gnawing to alleviate pain. It could be stress, boredom or might be a medical issue. Here are a few tips to keep them from chewing cords and save them from danger.

How to Keep pets from Chewing Cords

If the cord chewing persists, take your pet to the veterinarian to assess and possibly diagnose a potential underlying condition.

Strategies you can follow to protect cords from your pet:

Cord Covers Prevents Pets from Chewing

Run them through PVC pipes or cover the cords in a protective wrapping such as rubber tubing. This covering will make it more difficult or impossible for your pet to damage the cords and also protect them from harm.

Other Methods to Combat Cord Chewing

If stress and anxiety is the root cause of this cord-chewing behaviour then get to the bottom of the cause, keep your pets entertained by providing them with proper attention. Offer your pet with alternatives such as cardboard, crinkly toys, or a small canine rawhide chew. Having a suitable and safe chew toy could divert their attention away from live wires.

Trust Electrician for Your Electrical Repairs

Whether the result of instinct, health issues, or emotional stress, a dog or cat chewing through your cords can damage your appliances as well as be dangerous to their health and yours. Don’t leave that potential danger lingering in your home. Call the licensed electricians at Inlightech who are experts in House electrical wiring, (08) 6383 8016 or request an appointment today to have damaged cords repaired or replaced.

Ever felt like the whole outlet is going to come out of the wall when trying to pull a cord out? Electrical outlets are linked to outlet boxes which are fitted to drywall or a wall stud. Your outlet box can come loose over time from the material it was once attached to.

Fixing these outlets is not just about tightening a couple of screws. Sometimes, there might be a need to replace the whole outlet box or resize the hole in the wall, or there could be underlying issues happening, like frayed wires, and if not handled by a professional it can pose a real danger to you or your family.

That is why it is important to call a licensed electrician to repair loose electrical boxes in your house or office.

Look out for Warning Signs

Indications of loose outlet box – when it feels like the whole outlet is coming out of the wall when you are trying to unplug from the socket. Maybe you can slide the faceplate side to side. Or if the faceplate does not stay put up against the wall?

When an outlet box has been loose for some time, so are the wires attached to that outlet. If the wires have been rubbing against any hard objects or sharp edges, there could be significant wire damage. This requires professional repair service to ensure that the outlet is safe to use and that is why it is important to call a licensed electrician to repair loose electrical boxes

Potential Damage Caused by Loose Electrical Outlet Boxes

When a damaged outlet box is left unaddressed, it can lead to several possible issues. While some of these subsequent problems seem minor, others can be catastrophic.

1. Cracked faceplate: A loose outlet box which is constantly pulled against the faceplate will lead to cracking of faceplate which can lead to exposing of live electrical wires. It is Never safe to use an outlet that does not have a proper faceplate fixed.

2. Inconsistent device charging: A loose electrical box can lead to an inconsistent power supply to your devices. Over time, such inconsistent power flow to the device will damage your device battery.

3. Cord damage: Sometimes, exerting a certain amount of force to plug in a cord or unplug it can lead to loose wiring connection, making the cord ineffective. In the worst-case, exposed wires in the cord could result in electric shock.

4. Electrical shock: If you experience any sort of electrocution when plugging in or unplugging a cord, it is crucial to get it fixed as soon as possible for the safety of yourself and your family.

Exterior and Interior motion sensors are great for security, safety and convenience for elderly homeowners or houseguest. Safe Lifestyle for Elderly Homeowners starts with installing Interior motion sensors which prevent you and/or your guest from fumbling for the light switch, as low visibility is a common reason for slips and falls.

Wireless Motion-Sensing Lights

If you have a sensitive bladder and get up frequently at night, the low-cost option is a wireless motion-sensing light which is easy to install and ensures safe lifestyle for elderly homeowners. These wireless motion-sensing lights come with battery power thus you don’t need to look for an outlet to power it – set it on the floor, bottom shelf of a bookcase or any other area that requires it to light up. you can also use a stick-on feature to mount it up on the wall.

You might be wondering how this device detects motion – an invisible, cone-shaped infrared beam picks up motion from a wide range, so it’s easy to turn on the light with natural movements such as getting out of bed, walking down the hall, or opening the bathroom door. The light remains on for a few minutes, and then it shuts back off to conserve battery power.

Plug-In motion-detecting Nightlight

If you don’t want to go through changing batteries then a plug-in motion-detecting nightlight is the best option. With long-lasting LEDs, you don’t have to worry about replacing bulbs.

Perfect for bathroom and hallways, this motion sensor is that the light shuts off when it’s not needed, conserving power. A few minutes after climbing into bed or leaving the room, the light automatically turns off and complete darkness returns.

Motion Sensor Light Switches

Motion sensor light switches are available in several forms, including snap-on upgrades that fit over your existing light switch covers. Since sometimes, seniors may feel like they don’t need an overhead light or might forget to turn them on. This instant installation comes in handy with no need to change out bulbs or modify the electrical wiring.

Motion Sensor Outlets

Motion sensor outlets allow anything that’s plugged into the wall to activate when you walk by. Effortless Installation all you need to do is simply install this device into the wall and plug a lamp into the device. There are versions which automatically turn on the light when it gets dark outside. Many motion sensor outlets are designed to be compatible with LEDs, CFLs, and incandescent bulbs for versatility. We at Inlightech would suggest you opt for LEDs as it lasts longer, eco-friendly and also helps you save your dime.

Motion-Activated Toilet Nightlight

The bathroom is an appropriate and important area in the house to cover while elder-proofing with motion sensor lighting, but there is no need for an expensive upgrade; you can simply hang specially designed motion sensor lights on the edge of the seat. A toilet nightlight is not for the fancy looks; it allows seniors to use the facilities without turning on the bright overhead light.

Whether it’s motion detector installation that requires more than simply plugging in a nightlight or setting a battery-powered device on a shelf, turn to Inlightech. Our services include the installation and replacement of dimmers, timers, motion sensors, and other lighting systems. For projects requiring a licensed electrician, check us out.

You might be wondering why it is essential to upgrade to LED Lighting? Well, According to the Department of Energy stats LED lights consumes 75% of less energy compared to traditional incandescent lights. Replacing CFLs and incandescent lights with LED lights are increasing gradually. We all know the benefits of LED installation. But still, some of us haven’t switched to LEDs yet? Delaying in switching to LED bulbs is costing you.

LEDs lifespan is 25 times longer than incandescent bulbs, you’re adding a lot more to your ‘to-do list’ by procrastinating on LED light bulb installation. Even though it runs 24/7, a single LED bulb offers a lifespan of more than three years.

Durable and Safe

Resistant to breakage compared to incandescent bulbs and without the dangerous trace mercury their CFL cousins release when shattered, LEDs offer ease of maintenance and assured safety with which their distant family members cannot compete.

Guards your fuse box

If you switched to LED light strings, you could string up to 25 strings of those holiday lights together without blowing a fuse. If just half the holiday bulbs were switched to LED, in addition to all that breaker flipping, we could collectively save $17 billion a year on lighting costs.

Be cool with LEDs

90% of energy is released as heat and wasted in CFLs and incandescent bulbs. LEDs are much cooler, making them less likely to combust and also helps in reducing the carbon footprint.

LED Lightings Ensures performance in extremes

LEDs perform well in temperature extremes. Retail store giants have been using them in-store freezers and refrigerators for years due to their ability to hold up so well in cold environments.

Whereas CFLs perform poorly in cold temperatures.

Break out the cheque book

If you’re still using CFLs, incandescents, you’re overpaying, which accounts for 10% of your energy bill. The 49 million LED lights installed in 2012 alone saved around $675 million in annual energy costs. Over the next two decades, LEDs are expected to cut energy consumption for lighting by 50%, with energy savings estimated at a whopping $250 billion.

Protecting the Ozone

Replacing the outdated bulbs in your home and office with LEDs could reduce carbon emissions, estimated 1,800 tons in the next 20 years

Embrace Smart Tech

Falling in price 40% from 2011-2012 alone, LED sales are rising, with LED bulbs expected to account for 75% of all lighting sales by 2030.

Grab a shovel to dig yourself out of that lighting rut

Today’s LED options vary in intensity to the colour spectrum, including dimmable and programmable ‘smart’ bulb options. What are you waiting for?

It’s the Holiday season and we are all super excited about festooning our house with outdoor Christmas lights this year, but happy lighting comes with heartbreaking electric bills. So to keep you from stressing on this merry occasion, Inlightech offers you a more energy-efficient option – solar Christmas Lights! These outdoor holiday lights can be a great solution for savvy holiday decorators. Once you’ve decided on the best type of outdoor Christmas lighting for your lifestyle, Inlightech can help you design a home light display that will be the envy of the neighbourhood!

How Do Solar Christmas Lights Work?

Solar Christmas lights are attached to a dark panel known as the solar cell which converts the sun’s rays into electrical current. This converted electricity is then stored in a battery until it’s needed. Solar lights charge off sunlight all day. In the evening, a photoreceptor senses when it’s dark outside and will turn on the light. The light (usually an LED) will remain on until the battery is empty or the photoreceptor senses light again.

Many string lights available at your local hardware store operate with small batteries and only carry enough charge for one night. Usually, Solar batteries typically last about two years before needing replacement.

Types of Solar Holiday Lights

Most solar Christmas lights use LED bulbs instead of incandescent bulbs. We all know LED bulbs are more energy-efficient and pocket friendly than incandescent options.

As more people love to have a merry holiday which doesn’t put a strain on your wallet you can choose solar versions of all your traditional outdoor holiday lighting!

When Do Solar Outdoor Lights Work Best?

Solar outdoor lights charge with the help of sunlight, they work best when there is plenty of daylight. Most solar lights need between four and twelve hours of sunlight to fully charge. Solar lights may receive less light in the winter or rainy months. Some solar lights struggle to fully charge in cold weather as well. Solar lights may not be right for you if you live in a very snowy, cold area with little sunlight.

Where to Hang Solar Holiday Lights

The Advantage of solar holiday lights is that it does not require extension cords, you have total flexibility when deciding where to install them. Keep in mind that solar outdoor lights work best when the charging panel is placed in a sunny spot and if you live in a snowy area, make sure your solar panels aren’t covered in snow so they can charge properly. It is also important to hang your lights safely and check them for any frayed wires. Avoid placing hot lights on dry trees and hang outdoor lights on insulated hooks.

Why Choose Solar Christmas Lights?

1. Saving money

Although the upfront costs of solar holiday lights are higher than traditional string lights, you will save money long term on your energy bills. And if you only use solar lights during the holidays, they should last a long time.

2. Reducing your carbon footprint

Solar lights with LED bulbs use less energy, produce less heat, charge more rapidly, and last longer than incandescent bulbs. Solar power provides safe renewable energy that reduces carbon emissions.
