There is a very dangerous myth floating around, one which could actually result in severe injury and even death – “Electricity always follows the path of least resistance”. This is one of those myths that results from a general fact being blown way out of proportion.

Forget colleges and engineering schools, most high school students learn that electricity does behave this way, as a part of the basics of electricity and resistances. Worryingly, this myth isn’t just stated as a fact, it’s a commonly followed practice in many electrical circuit designs, especially when it comes to grounding.

Walk into any industrial plant that uses motors or pumps and you’ll find they’re all connected to ground rods. Ask anyone why that’s done and you’ll likely get the same response everywhere (even from the people in charge of the electrical maintenance) – It’s to eliminate the potential differences.

It may not seem important today, but summer and warm weather is not that far away. It is time to start thinking about how you are going to beat the heat this summer without trying to run your AC at full throttle. That only leads to more problems that will ultimately lead to you spending a lot of money trying to keep cool. There is an option. Ceiling fans are an excellent way to create a cool breeze in the home. All you need to do is call an electrician in Beverly Hills, like those at The Electric Connection.

A fan in the bedroom is a welcome addition that can help you sleep better at night, especially on a day when the temperatures are warm. The breeze is very light. It keeps the air from becoming stale, which can make the room more comfortable. A ceiling fan installed by a Beverly Hills electrician will ultimately save you money on your electric bill. The fan will pull the hot air out of the room, making space for the cold air that comes out of the vents in the floor. This helps reduce how often your AC has to kick on to keep the room cool.

There are various styles and sizes of ceiling fans to choose from. You will want to make sure you choose a fan that is suitable for the size of the room. A nice addition is a remote control feature installed by an electrician. Beverly Hills homeowners won’t have to worry about pulling on a chain to adjust the fan speed or to turn off the light. This is an excellent feature to have, especially when you are lying in bed at night. Give The Electric Connection a call today and schedule your ceiling fan installation.

It is no secret that Des Moines has been growing lately, and with such growth around the city, that means many people are purchasing homes. However, seeing as many of the homes in Des Moines were built more than 50 years ago, this means many of the residential areas in the area are not prepared for the amount of electrical power required for modern technology. Additionally, since many homeowners in the area are younger, they are also learning the ropes of home maintenance for the first time. The combination of these two factors means that many homes in the area are in need of a visit from a residential electrician to investigate whether or not these homes require electrical panel replacement.

Electrical panels are often referred to as the circuit breakers, and they are essentially the brains controlling the electricity in your home. Obviously these are extremely important and complex pieces of electrical equipment, but what you may not know is that many of these devices are outdated. Plus, there are a handful of panels from known manufacturers that require immediate attention, such as FPE and Federal Pacific. While the electrical panels developed in the prior century were previously capable of handling the electrical demands of an average household, modern conveniences and the rapid advancement in technology since the development of the personal computer have necessitated vast improvements and upgrades to residential electrical panels.

It is important to have a residential electrician inspect the breakers in your home to determine if you are in need of panel replacement. Call the Electrical Gurus in Des Moines today at 515-446-7040 to have an electrician inspect and determine if you are in need of panel replacement today.
