Why LED Bulbs Are a Landlord’s Best Friend

Whether you already own rental properties or are planning on becoming a rental property owner in the future, it is worth spending some time thinking about ways to make them more energy efficient. The simple fact is that a pleasant energy rating is a valuable selling point when your properties are on the market. You will stand a much better chance of finding tenants & keeping them happy in the long term.

Landlords receive a tiny little bit of a bad rep. The stereotypical picture of the miserly landlord hammering on the door to demand the rent is a familiar, in these difficult economic times, but it is also outdated. Nowadays landlords are friendly, understanding & over willing to accommodate the needs of their tenants. So in the event you are living in rented accommodation & you think the bills might be high, its a pleasant time to let your landlord know about energy efficient LED Light Bulbs.

“A nice energy rating tells a tenant important things; that the bills they must pay will be lower & that the maintenance on your property is high.” There is lots of different ways of making your properties more efficient, most of which can be present in a list compiled by the National Landlord’s Association (NLA). of the best places to start, however, is with the lighting.

Since the 1st October 2008 it is been necessary for all rental properties with a brand spanking new tenancy in England & Wales to register for an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). The certificate is similar to the energy rating labels used on electrical appliances & means that potential tenants can see at a glance how energy efficient & environmentally friendly your properties are.

Unlike Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs), LED Lights consistently accomplish a high lumen output for the full period of their lifespan, which means you won’t be compromising on light quality either. Infact the LED quality is the best to date in the lighting industry as compared to others.

Swapping extravagant incandescent light bulbs for energy saving LED Lights is a guaranteed way of lowering electricity bills. It is also simple. Most LED Bulbs are classified as ‘retrofit,’ which means they share the same fittings & dimensions as your existing bulbs so you can swap them straight over.
