Benefits of Solar Panels

Considering solar power? While you may not see all of the benefits immediately, we can guarantee it will be worth it in the long run.

There are plenty of benefits of going solar, but the most important is that we will have access to solar energy for as long as the sun is alive - another 6.5 billion years. The surface of the earth receives 120,000 terawatts or solar radiation (sunlight) which happens to be 20,000 times more power than what is necessary to supply the entire world.

Although there are some emissions associated with solar energy, it generally does not cause pollution. It’s a better option than depending on non-renewable energy sources that do in fact cause pollution.

Tired of spending a fortune in electricity costs? You’ll be glad to hear that you can save more than $100 per month on your bills and you can even “sell” excess electricity. How does that sound?

If you’re thinking of switching to solar energy, give Mr. Electric of Tampa Bay a call. We’d love to discuss your options and help you choose a plan specific to your home.

Lighting To Transform Your Bathroom

With the right lighting in your bathroom and kitchen, a homeowner can change the way others view your home. Highlight your room's best features and provide optimum functionality with lighting services by Mr. Electric of Tampa Bay! We can help increase the value of your home! Are you looking to transform your space? Check out the following tips for improving your bathroom:

Cabinet Lighting: Add lights under the cabinets to highlight the colors in your countertops and cabinets. It can also be used to illuminate the walkway at night.

Mirror and Vanity Lighting: Good lighting above your mirrors reduce the amount of shadows in your bathroom giving the appearance of a larger room.

Ceiling Fixture: A ceiling light can add extra depth to a room, provide an extra element of sophistication, and make the room appear larger.

Shower: Having a light specifically for the shower is an especially useful feature for those who want to save energy or are trying not to wake your spouse early in the morning. A light over the shower prevents you from having to turn all of the bathroom lights on.

Bathtub: Like the shower light, a bathtub light will illuminate the area in use. Why not put a dimmer over the tub, creating a relaxing mood.

Canned Lighting: Don't have high ceilings? Canned lighting is a great option that can be placed in strategic parts of a room to create a more intimate ambiance or open space.

Toilet: Focused halogen or flood lights are great for over the toilet especially if the toilet is separated by a wall or door. This is also a great place for a dimmer to help those mid-night bathroom goers.

Accent lighting: Accent lighting will highlight any artwork or architecture that you would like to draw attention to.

Indirect lighting: Hidden lights add a soft and soothing touch to a room and are great additions to nooks and coves.
