3 Reasons to upgrade to LED lighting if selling your home! | Quantum Electrical Services (WA)

1. First impressions

As we all know first impressions have a massive impact on the way people make purchases. Selling your home is no different. The first thing your real estate agent does before a home open is turn all the lights on and open curtains to give the effect the rooms are lighter and brighter.

By replacing your old lights with new LED light fittings, you have the ability to really brighten and modernise your home and even change the way certain things look i.e. dull floor tiles or paint colours. This simple and cost-effective upgrade is a guaranteed way to have a lasting effect on your potential buyers first impression of your property.

2. Energy Efficiency

Let’s be honest, it’s 2021 and we are now more conscious than ever about our carbon footprint. Buyers are looking for a more sustainable home where their power bill is as low as possible and more energy efficient than ever before.

It is truly amazing how much less energy LED lights use compared to the old halogen types, in fact 85% less energy! This noticeable difference in energy consumption might not be at the forefront of your buyers minds but to say your home has LED lighting throughout is definitely a huge selling point for potential buyers.

3. Colour Changing

Today’s technology allows us to use products on the market that provide “colour changing” settings. This fantastic feature means you can switch between warm to cooler coloured light. People often ask which colour lighting they should use and to be honest it comes down to personal preference as everyone has different opinions.

We suggest when selling your home to set all your lights to the coolest, whitest setting as this really makes everything nice and clean looking and great for photos. As for everyday living, some people find the cool white light too harsh and a little overbearing. This is where we have the ability to switch the light into a warmer mode, which in my opinion is easier to relax and unwind after a long day at work.

If you are looking at selling and wondering if your lighting needs to be upgraded and you are unsure where to start simply contact (08) 96313 8699 or admin@quantumelectricalwa.com.au we would love to help you brighten up your place ready for market.
