In addition to properly insulating a building, especialy where older buildings are concerned, great power savings can be made by replacing power hungry electrical devices with alteratives. In any home, a geyser is usually the device that uses the most energy. Today’s solar powered geysers have advanced significantly to offer a low energy alternatve. Although the initial outlay can be expensive, it typically pays for itself within 3 years, after which it becomes a bonus to any household.
Similarly, power hungry lights can be replaced with low voltage LED alternatives. At Runrite Construction we typically aim to use 5 watts of electricity / square meter. Rewiring a building with old electrical installations benefits occupants and owners by making it safer, reducing insurance risks and bringing it up to modern standards, whilst offering an opportunity to incorporate energy efficiency into the design.
Runrite Construction can install the following electricity saving solutions:
· Solar powered geysers
· Solar powered outdoor and garden lights
