Happy Belated Earth Day!

Since Earth Day was yesterday we thought we should share a bit about what we have been doing to help the environment. 

This past year, we decided to invest in new energy efficient lighting in our showroom. Previously, we had been using halogen bulbs to light our displays as they provided a bright warm light. They also unfortunately generated a lot of heat and used exorbitant amounts of power to run. We switched everything over to new LED bulbs throughout our showroom. The new bulbs offer a similar warmth to our halogens but at a fraction of the energy and they generate almost no heat (this was instantly apparent during the hot summer months as our air conditioner was not turning on nearly as much). It was a simple change that really affected our energy consumption in a positive way. The other great thing about the new bulbs is that they are supposed to last for around 20 years! We were easily replacing halogens at least twice a year which definitely added to the amount of trash we generated.

Happy Earth Day from David Hecht Custom Kitchens!
