Dimmer Switch

posted November 30th, 2011 at 6:14 am

Today I'm going to show you how to use dimmer switches to lower your
power bill. Most people think of dimmer switches as a way to set the
mood for a room, but dimming the light also reduces the power draw and
extends the life of your bulbs.

Installation is pretty easy, but before we start, here are a few things
to know:

o Make sure the bulbs you have are compatible with dimmer switches.

o Before you buy a dimmer, find out how the existing switch is wired.
Most of the time you'll need a 2-way switch, but sometimes you'll need
a 3-way switch. If you're unfamiliar with this terminology, you may
want to consider professional installation.

There are many different dimmer switches on the market. You don't need
a fancy dimmer to save electricity, but choose the one that fits your
needs. Make sure you read the manufacturer's instructions and take all
safety precautions. Again, if you are not comfortable working with
electricity, please contact a certified electrician.

Here are some tools we will need to get started:

1. Screwdriver
2. Wire strippers
3. Electrical tape
4. Wire nuts
5. Circuit tester

Installation instructions:

1. First, locate your electrical panel and turn off the breaker to that
switch. If you're not sure which breaker it is, turn off the main
breaker.
2. Remove the face plate for the light switch.
3. Check the circuit with the tester to insure the power is off.
4. Disconnect the old switch and make note on how it was connected.
5. Determine if you need to strip the wires for proper connection.
6. Connect the wires to the dimmer switch.
7. If your dimmer switch has lead wires connect them to the house wires
with wire nuts.
8. Connect the ground wires with wire nuts.
9. Tuck the wires into the circuit box and attach plate with screws.
10. Turn on breaker from the electrical panel and test.
11. If the light does not work, turn breaker off and check connections.

Now that you have a dimmer switch, you can adjust the brightness of the
lights. To save power, set you lights to 50-75% brightness or less.
This will help save you money, extend the life of the bulb, and give
the room a nice relaxed feeling. I hope you have enjoyed this video,
and don't forget to add your thoughts in the comments section.

Tip Of The Month Energy Saving Tip Of The Month See All Tips

Use Elbow Grease Instead of Power!

posted October 4th 2010 at 5:00PM

Don't forget that people managed to get their dishes clean for millenia
before there were electric dishwashers! If you can spare the time, try
doing them by hand. If you make a habit of cleaning your dishes as you
use them, you'll find that the task isn't so intimidating. Even doing
dishes by hand several times daily will use less water than running the
dishwasher once... and it won't use any power!

Q: Is My Property A Good Candidate For Renewable Energy?

posted September 14th 2010 at 1:21AM

A:

The results you see, and the energy-saving benefits you will enjoy,
will both be a direct function of the size and quality of the system
you build, as well as all the characteristics of your home (insulation,
southern exposure, materials). But you should know that your total
energy output will also be impacted by the solar and wind resources in
your specific area and neighborhood - It will depend where you are and
what surrounds you (hills, valleys, buildings, etc).

It would be best if you consult the Dept of Energy's website and pay
particular attention to the solar and wind resource maps. Often this
information is also available at your municipality's city hall, which
would also be the most relevant source for any legal questions and
inquiries related to available rebates.

To get more specific than the answers you would find there can get very
difficult for us as a centralized provider of renewable energy how-to
information. Even if we know what city you live in, we don't know
exactly where you are, and we don't know what surrounds your property.
Naturally, specific questions about the results customers will see are
impossible for us to answer. Your circumstances, like those of all of
our customers, can't be assessed without being there.

Sincerely,

Enter your search keyword(s) and the keyword "zorgium" into the search input field of http://bing.com, http://yahoo.com or http://google.com.

Heads up: There's an ongoing spamdexing of Google searchbot algorithms. Sites that are 'copies of copies' and cloaked sites which include Zorgium keywords presented to search engine crawlers yet garbage content presented to human visitors were hosted on thousands of IP addresses and domains registered immediately after the introduction of Zorgium in November of 2009. The Hostgator/'The Planet'/Softlayer datacenters in Texas seem to be the epicenter of this activity in conjunction with anonymously registered domains of various TLD's but primarily .info domains at Godaddy which, in our opinion, has some sort of connection to the domains of goldmint.in and goldmint.org. Google has begun to notice this and has begun to lower the ranking of these sites and put our original sites back on top of the search rankings. These actions, as far as we can tell, negatively impact the use of the keyword 'zorgium' as a search term and provided little benefit, if any, to the perpetrators.

ZORGIUM note to content providers: If you don't want your page to appear in Zorgium's search abstraction then put an exclusion for "Zorgium" in your web server's robots.txt file.
