New Recessed Lighting And Title 24 Energy Codes
Title 24 Compliance is an important thing to consider when upgrading your home with recessed lighting. Due to recent energy code mandates in California residential lighting has specific requirements when it comes to installing new lighting or adding recessed can lights to certain areas of your home. Many contractors pay no attention to the new energy codes and choose rather to install the most cost effective method that will benefit them but we believe it is important to keep your home up to code and in line with all of the required local lighting requirements and energy codes. Keep in mind that power companies base your utility costs on the actual wattage you consume so higher wattage fixtures in certain areas of the home could lead to higher tier electrical rates costing you more in the long run.
Did you know that title 24 requires you to install energy compliant lighting in all kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, garages and exterior portions of your home. All bathrooms are required to be equipped with Motion sensor switches and kitchens as well as laundry rooms, garages and exteriors must have efficient lighting such as LED or fluorescent lighting. Because of the harsh and un-natural light that many fluorescent fixtures tend to give off many of our customers choose to use LED fixtures when installing recessed lighting in these areas. Make sure you use knowledgable lighting installers for your recessed lighting project who are willing to follow local codes and keep your home lighting energy efficient.
Professional Recessed lighting Design & Layout
Finding the right professional for your recessed lighting project could be a daunting task. It is important to only hire a licensed electrician to complete your lighting installation and avoid costly mistakes if things don't work out as planned. Recessed lighting may seem like a simple task but there is much to consider in a well thought out lighting design plan for your home. Choosing a contractor who is capable of effectively patching drywall holes may be necessary especially if you live in a two story home and are planning on adding recessed lighting on the first floor. Without attic access it is likely that the lighting installer will need to cut holes in the walls or ceiling to run the proper wiring for your new lights. At HB Electric we offer full service recessed lighting including drywall repair if necessary once we are finished. Contact us today for a quote on your recessed lighting project.
