Default Dimmer switch(s) - just curious

I installed sixteen dimmer switches around the house, for various purposes.
Don't have any problems at all, but am curious.

When a dimmer switch is turned down so the light is not as bright, does this
save electricity or does the dimmer switch disperse the voltage drop in
heat?

Thanks for the info. Bob
