If you live within the city of Los Angeles or even in the surrounding suburbs, you have probably been privy to a power outage a time or two. They can be a real drag if you are not prepared. Having a flashlight and candles handy is great, but wouldn’t it be nice to be able to simply turn on the light like you normally would when you wanted to read or find something in the cupboard? You can do just that when you have a generator installed by a Los Angeles electrician like those at The Electric Connection.

Standby generators ensure you have a source of power even when the main electric grid is down. You may not want to admit it, but our worlds revolve around power. Nearly everything we do requires electricity. Without it, we are kind of brought to a standstill. Fortunately, most power outages are short-lived, but an outage that extends more than an hour starts to become very bothersome. You are unable to do some of the simplest things like, warm up food, wash the dishes, do a load of laundry or even charge your electronics. Those batteries will only last for so long.

Having a standby generator is an investment you will certainly appreciate when the rest of the neighborhood is sitting in the dark. They go a long way to providing comfort and security. There is little work for you to do when the power goes out if you have a generator installed by an electrician. Los Angeles residents will have a switch installed on the generator that automatically switches the home from the power grid to the backup generator. You may have to reset a few clocks, but other than that, you can keep doing what you normally would. If you are interested in having your home equipped with a generator, give The Electric Connection a call today.

Meyda utilizes QBG’s original tools, molds and techniques to create nostalgic lighting products much like those offered at Tiffany Studios in NYC in the early 1900’s.

With the purchase of Mecco Art, a metal art studio, Meyda Tiffany further expanded their range with state-of-the-art equipment and novel manufacturing techniques to produce spectacular custom crafted lighting and décor under the Meyda Custom Lighting brand.

Under Meyda Lighting Brand, thousands of decorative styles are offered throughout fine home lighting and home decor dealers in the United States and Canada.

The works of Louis Comfort Tiffany, Dirk Van Erp, Gustav Stickley and other outstanding masters inspires many of Meyda’s lighting designs.  Artistic compositions include Arts and Crafts light fixtures, as well as Rustic, Gothic, Revival and Contemporary lamps and decor.
