Before you go out and purchase energy efficient products that are both expensive and oftentimes unnecessary, take small steps in your everyday life that in turn will limit the amount of energy your home uses everyday! When you’re not in a room simply turn off your lights. The same goes for everyday appliances such as washing and drying machines and dishwashers. Use faster cycles and then turn off the machines completely to save energy. You can also resort to doing machine based tasks manually such as hand washing clothes and dishes and letting your hair dry naturally as opposed to using a hair dryer.

Fuses and circuit breakers are similar in that they aim to protect electrical circuits from overloading, which can cause fires. Both fuses and circuit breakers stop the flow of electricity. It’s the way in which they handle the stopping of the electricity that sets them apart both functionally effectively. Fuses are made from metal and so when they are overheated they melt. They are quicker at stopping the flow of electricity but more commonly need repairs. Circuit breakers, on the other hand, have an internal switch that is slower to stop the flow of energy but far easier to fix, by simply switching back on, when overpowered.

Heat is usually one of the first symptoms of a growing problem that will eventually result in a failure. By means of a specialized Infrared Thermal Imaging camera readings are done of the heat signatures of equipment and graphically demonstrates the problem. The information provided allows our electricians to catch problems before they result in shutdown due to failed equipment. 

A Megger is a tester that uses a high-voltage pulse to test conductor insulation. This test enables you to anticipate a growing or current problem in your electrical system that could result in a ground fault to system wiring or equipment.
