Does leaving the light switch up but turning off the light with the string on the fan run up the light bill?
No, you only pay for the power used. Light on you pay, light off no cost.
How can I persuade my school to change light bulbs from incandescent to a more efficient type like LEDs?
You could start by realizing how much it would cost. LEDs are very efficient, and have very long life spans (typically 100,000 hours +), but cost a lot to initially install. Our cities highschools (two schools with around 3,000 students each) just got a very large bond passed (somewhere around 10 mil) and they upgraded everything in one, and rebuilt the second. 70" plasmas in each room, and a state of the art library that ranks in the top 25 in the US. None of the lights are LED. they are however the less costly alternative; flurocents. Most if not all commercially used building (including schools) already have these systems in place. Depending on the age of the school, they may have aging systems that need to be updated, which is fairly inexpensive, opposed to installing banks of LEDs (rows of LEDs - necessary to provide even light, as they don't distribute light i n wide angles.) which would cost a fortune (a simple basic LED bulb from radio shack: 50-75¢ last I saw. Now multiply that by say 200 for each bank of LEDs. How many banks would u need? Count the existing amout of light fixtures in the school, and that's about how many you need.). Our school has around 4,000 fixtures (3 floors; 30 rooms each floor, 10 fixtures per room. Science wing; 50 rooms (induing labs), 10 fixtures each. Hallways: 75 per floor. Gym; 100 large fixtures (equals 4 banks of LEDs each fixture) Basketball court; 75 large fixtures (same size as gym's). Cafeteria; 50 fixtures. Main entrance; 75 fixtures. Music wing; (20 large rooms) 25 fixtures per room. Auditorium; 200 fixtures. -- just to give you an idea on how many lights for each kind of rooms and such.) so 4,000 x 200 = 800,000. 800,000 x 50¢ = $400,000. Then add in the price of the LED fixtures (things that hold the LEDs): about $50 per fixture; so 4,000 x $50 = $200,000. Now add in labor; $200,000 to have permits, and a large work force to get it done fast and well. So you have a grand total of: $400,000 + $200,000 + $200,000 = $800,000. LEDs vs. Fluorescent energy consumption is notable, but it could take decades to pay for itself, and really not have a big "green" effect your going for. In otherwords: your not going go convince them unless you give them an insane amount of money. If your looking to go green; try researching the benefits of geothermal heating/cooling, depending on where you live. And present that to your school board. I'm sure you school still uses boiler rooms; very inefficient. (our school also uses geothermal as well). Sorry that was so long, but I had to make sure you understood the price vs outcome. But do look for other ways for you school to go green! It's Great thing to do for you community!

How to Replace an Outdated ight Fixture?
How to Replace an Outdated Light FixtureOutdated light fixtures waste energy, give the room a tired look and could be dangerous. Worn wires, non-functioning sockets, and faulty switches are a shock or fire hazard. Fortunately, it is easy to replace outdated fixtures with a few hand tools.Choose a fixture with the Energy star rating to maximize savings on the electric bill. There are designs to suit every decor. Dimmer switches, both manual and programmable provide ambiance when needed. Fixtures that work with CFL's (compact fluorescent lights) are far more energy efficient than standard fixtures. Choose CFL's that work with dimmer switches.Gather together a Phillips and flathead screwdriver, a pair of pliers, an electrician's pliers, wire nuts and a ladder for overhead fixtures. Turn the power off to the circuit. Remove the light bulbs first, remove the light covers next and set aside. Remove the screws securing the fixture to the wiring box and gently remove the fixture. Untwist the wires and set the fixture aside.It is important to pay attention to house's wiring. Many older houses have aluminum wiring, which creates heat when combined with copper wiring in fixtures. The proper wiring nuts are equipped to prevent heat buildup and provide a safe connection.Install the light fixture in the reverse order. Make sure the wires are connected properly. When everything is in place, turn the power on and turn on the lights. The room will have a fresh, new look.
If you have a contract with a renter that's saids they have to pay for the breakdowns do the renters have to pay?
Do you mean the contract states that the owner/real estate will pay for repairs and maintenance? If the contract states that the realtor will pay for repairs and maintenance on permanent fixtures such as ovens etc then the owner/realtor has to pay, if you signed a contract stating that you the rentor of the property will pay costs of repair to property including permanent fixtures and things such as excess water you have to pay, if you are in arrears with your rental payments the owner/realtor can choose to not pay for repairs until you have amended your debt on the other hand if you are up to date with your rent and the owner/realtor is meant to be footing the bill and is refusing you should take your complaint to the rental tenancy authority who can deal with the matter from there....
