Having an electrical problem is never going to be a good time. We rely on electricity for nearly everything, and so it’s quite understandable that you’re looking for service in a hurry. But before you go rushing in, the experts at Hoffman Electrical have some things to say. Getting a cost-effective electrician is great, but there’s a fine line between cost-effective and cheap!

Before your home fills up with guests visiting for the holidays, you will probably want to spruce up a bit and get ready for a house full of people. Anytime you have a lot of people in a small space, even if you have a big home, things can get a little stuffy. One way you can combat the stuffiness while adding a touch of elegance is with a ceiling fan or two. Your Glendale electrician can take care of the installation for you and make sure your home is airy and comfortable for you and your guests. At The Electric Connection, we know how important it is to leave your home the way we found it and will make sure the installation is complete as well as safe.

Ceiling fans are not just for cosmetic purposes. They are a very useful tool in keeping your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer as well as providing that needed breeze when things are a little stuffy. An electrician in Glendale can explain how the direction the fan turns factors into the heating and cooling needs of your home. Basically, the fan pushes the hot air that rises to the ceiling in the winter and pulls the hot air from the room in the summer by switching the direction of the blades.

Don’t be deterred by vaulted or cathedral ceilings. There are fans that can be connected to an extension bar to lower the fan. No, you won’t need to pull out a ladder when you want to turn the fan speed up or down or the light on. Many ceiling fans are equipped with remote controls or have the capability of having a remote sensor installed by an electrician. Glendale homeowners will love the new look of their ceiling fan as well as the way it makes the whole house feel. Give The Electric Connection a call today and schedule your ceiling fan installation.

Homeowners have always wanted to bring another time to life. Many of us want our homes to feel like a peaceful getaway echoing a country retreat, or to act as a transport to a different (note: picturesque) period of time. Unlike many design trends, the New Farmhouse style marries both of these desires and blends them smoothly. New Farmhouse doesn’t boast the same masculinity as straightforward Neo-Industrial nor is it a predictably dated Shabby Chic look, although some elements can cross-over. Finding the right items to achieve this scheme can be confusing, so we’ve compiled a few recommendations for the ideal lighting fixtures to complement your new design project.

The Kitchen

Fun Fact:  “To talk turkey,” means to speak candidly, directly, plainly and/or bluntly. There are several possible explanations to the origin of this phrase.  Some support a link to uncensored familial conversation around the Thanksgiving dinner table; Others say the phrase is linked to the actual sounds a turkey makes, because the male turkey’s “gobble, gobble” is a basic, unadorned, matter-of-fact kind of vocalization.

Wherever your holiday “turkey talk” may lead, Capitol Lighting’s Thanksgiving feast is sure to please everyone with custom designed lighting at unbeatable prices.  The lighting experts at Capitol will help you to illuminate your home for the holidays…elegantly, efficiently and affordably.
