Boost Electrical Safety at Home

While doing research on the Internet, I came across this article on HGTV’s website. It speaks about maintaining and boosting the electrical system in your home. I touches on topics like GFCIs, circuit boxes, flickering lights, and outlet safety.

Another great thing about this read is the checklist it provides to keep your household running smoothly and safely. As well as the energy saving tips.

Occupancy/Vacancy Sensors in other parts of your home:

Last week we mentioned how occupancy/vacancy sensors aer great to have in your basement, mainly for those who forget to turn the lights off. Another great way to utilize occupancy/vacancy sensors is in the laundry room and even as a hallway nightlight for the little ones.

An occupancy/vacancy sensor in the laundry room can save you from having to put down the basket or trying to turn the lights on or off with your elbow. the lights will automatically turn on an off as they sense motion, or the lack of it.

Setting up an occupancy/vacancy sensor as a hallway nightlight helps to keep little one safe. Children are more likely to get up  in the middle of the night from time to time. Setting up the sensor with a dimmed light makes it simple for them to see where they are going without shocking them fully awake.The light will also turn off when they eventually get back into bed.

Is your Meter Socket not secured to your Siding Properly?

If not corrected a sagging or improperly mounted meter socket can cause unsafe condition for your home. We can solve your problem permanently by installing a siding Meter block to create a safe and water tight installation.

Take a look at the photo on the right. Take note of the white square block mounted behind the electrical meter. Our licensed electricians recently handled this installation for our customer in Hatfield.
