Rocker Switches and Timers

Exhaust fan timer

There are no toggle switches at 120 Brown Knight. The entire house uses modern rocker switches. Also installed, are built in timers. These are used to control both exhaust fans and holiday lighting.

Every bathroom, and the laundry room, has an exhaust fan. Leaving these fans to run too long pulls conditioned air out of the house and is inefficient. Not letting them run long enough doesn’t pull enough moisture out of the air and can cause problems. Turning a fan off too soon (when leaving a room) or letting it run too long (forgetting about it running) isn’t good.

The elegant solution is timers for every exhaust fan. Set the time for the amount of minutes to run. Then simply turn the fan on when leaving and the timer does the rest. Easy.

There are two more timers which control the holiday lighting and lights on the front of the house. These two timers are the same style, and can account for changing sunlight throughout the year. As the sun sets later and later during the summer, they extend the time to turn the lights on automatically. This is both smart and efficient.

The holiday lighting timer controls three outlets under the eaves of the roof in three convenient locations. This allows for fewer, if any, un-sightly extension cords to be required, and makes better use of the wires needed for holiday lights.

Pre-cut, pre-fitted holiday lights come with 120 Brown Knight, so all you have to do is string them up and plug them into the eave outlets and your new home will sparkle!
