This year marks our 15th anniversary, so we have been celebrating by taking trips down memory lane to 1999, the year of Pegasus Lighting’s birth. This month, of course, we are checking out what was going on in September 1999. Remember when Viacom merged with CBS, the Sega Dreamcast temporarily entranced the population, and lots of crazy stuff happened at the MTV Video Music Awards (In fact, the first five items on this list occurred during the VMAs)? Come check it out!

A bath fan is one of those things we all take for granted. We assume every house has one in each bathroom. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. While you may simply chalk it up to a little something extra that isn’t really needed, it really is a necessity. A bath fan is a must have if you want to preserve the quality of the walls and flooring in your home. If you are wondering why, listen to your electrician. Beverly Hills homeowners can count on the experts at The Electric Connection to steer them in the right direction when it comes to taking care of electrical needs.

A bath fan pulls moisture out of the air that is generated by hot showers. You have probably seen the condensation on your mirror after a shower and maybe you have noticed your sink and countertops are damp. A quick wipe with a towel takes care of the obvious moisture, but what about the moisture seeping into your walls and floorboards?

This is a prime environment for mold. You have heard of the dangers of mold and how harmful it can be to your health. Not to mention, mold remediation services can be extremely costly and you may even be displaced from your home for several days.

A bath fan is a simple, inexpensive method of controlling the amount of moisture in your bathroom. Because it involves electrical wiring, you will want to hire an electrician. Beverly Hills homeowners would never trust one of their biggest investments to just anybody, and this is why you want a professional who knows how to safely and securely install a bath fan. Homeowners will have the option of choosing the right fan and will be pleased with the wide variety of fans available on the market today. If you are ready to add or replace an existing fan, give us a call today at The Electric Connection.
