Residential Occupancy Sensors

Both occupancy and vacancy sensors are smart electrical upgrades that automatically manage your home lighting for maximum energy savings. While both types of switches turn lights off automatically when a room is vacated, they work slightly differently and offer unique benefits for Northeast Ohio homeowners. AC Electric provides professional installation for these energy-saving devices across the Cleveland and Akron service area.

Occupancy Sensor vs. Vacancy Sensor: Which is Best for Your Closet Lights?

An occupancy sensor detects motion and automatically turns the light ON when you enter a room and OFF when the space is empty. A vacancy sensor requires you to manually turn the light ON, but it will automatically turn it OFF after the room has been vacant for a set time.

Why Install a Motion-Activated Light for Closets and Garages?

For areas like pantries, laundry rooms, garages, and walk-in closets, an occupancy sensor (often called a motion-activated light for closets) is the most convenient choice. Imagine walking into your walk-in closet with hands full—the light comes on automatically! For the average homeowner in the Cleveland and Akron area, these small upgrades from AC Electric lead to significant savings on your utility bills over time by ensuring lights are never accidentally left on.
