Tips:

1) Pot lights are best used with CFLs (Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs). Replace your 60 watt bulbs with 13 watt CFLs for significant energy savings. Have an electrician wire pot lights on several switches for even more energy savings.
2) Water pipes should be insulated. Insulate hot pipes to stay hot, and insulate cold pipes to control condensation. Insulating your water pipes is cheap and easy to do!
3) A proper exhaust fan is essential in the bathroom. Noisy fans don’t get used, so install a low-noise rating fan. You can also put the fan on a timer for greater efficiency.
