Don’t waste hundreds of dollars fighting a losing battle against the heat. Your air conditioner already has enough work to do. It doesn’t need to fight against the hot air trapped in the attic. You need an attic fan to give your air conditioner a hand and your wallet a break. You don’t have to suffer through another hot summer. A Beverly Hills electrician can help ease the heat of the summer in your house by installing an attic fan. If you have never heard of attic fans, give The Electric Connection a call.

Attic fans are designed to pull out the hot, stuffy air that collects between the ceiling of your home and the roof, which leaves it all trapped in the attic. The hot air is like a giant bubble that does not allow your home to ever really get comfortably cool. Not to mention, the hot air bubble is giving your air conditioner a really hard time. It will struggle to maintain your home at a cool 72 degrees and work harder than it should, which can cause a breakdown. Repairing an air conditioner can be very costly.

It makes sense to avoid the hassle and the heat by hiring an electrician. Beverly Hills homeowners can stay cool without paying a small fortune with the installation of an attic fan. An electrician will evaluate the best placement for the fan. Ideally, you will want it placed with the opening under an eave. The air in this area is cooler. The cooler air is pulled into the attic while the hot air trapped in the attic is pushed out. Depending on the size of the attic, you may need more than a single fan. If you want to learn more, give The Electric Connection a call today and schedule your appointment.

Whether your child is well into elementary school or not yet in kindergarten, it’s never too early to talk about electricity. We know how daunting the topic of electricity may be, especially if you’re the one having to explain it; however, because so much of the world requires it, it’s important to at least understand some basics.

In our first ever edition of “Electricity for Kids,” we’re going to dig into the difference between protons and electrons, and then demonstrate, using a balloon and a can, how a negative or positive charge can change an outcome. You may be wondering: Will this be fun? Of course it will! And we’re not just saying that because electricity is our specialty. There are numerous experiments and demonstrations in which you and your child can conduct together – and they really are quite fascinating.  As a parent, you might even learn something along the way too!
