Referral Network
Flagstaff and Prescott Lighting
Rosie on the House only refers contractors who have successfully made it through our rigorous prescreening process. We call the contractors we recommend "partners" because we believe they support our vision of being every Prescott homeowner's best friend. Like us, they're here to protect and serve homeowners. If you know any contractors who you think can pass our prequalification process, nominate them here, or have them fill out our prequalification form. Please note that filling out the form does not guarantee that the contractor will be accepted into our trusted Referral Network. In fact, fewer than 25 percent of contractors who fill out the form never become Rosie on the House partners.
Can I add security lighting without raising my energy bill?
Even if you spend a bundle on outdoor security lighting, there’s no need to overspend when you operate it. Here are Rosie’s tips for more energy-efficient outdoor lighting.What is an LED?
LED stands for light-emitting diode. It’s not a light bulb, but it acts like one. Read more about LED's.What are the pros and cons of compact fluorescent light bulbs?
Compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) are poised to replace those familiar incandescent bulbs we’ve been using since electricity became a household necessity. Learn about CFLpros and cons.What should I do if a break a CFL?
Two words: Be careful! Compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) contain tiny amounts of mercury, which can be harmful if it’s released in the environment. The mercury is sealed within the glass light bulb, so there’s no danger to anyone while you burn the CFL. A problem will arise only if you break a bulb or if you throw one in the trash (so recycle it instead!). See the EPA's quidelines for cleaning a broken CFL.See full lists of FAQs
