During the Fall and Winter months, Expert Electric installs an increasing amount of outdoor parking lot lighting for all different types of commercial buildings including office buildings, retail businesses, restaurants and bars. As the days get shorter, many business and property owners begin to see the benefits of outdoor parking lot lighting as there is less daylight. Outdoor parking lot lighting is important all year round to prevent break-ins, vandalism and burglaries from occurring. Learn more about the different types of outdoor parking lot lighting installations that Expert Electric does.

Outdoor parking lot lighting is an important security measure in protecting the buildings, businesses and employees of office buildings. Not all office buildings have security guards and underground parking. Outdoor parking lot lighting can help protect office buildings from burglaries. It can also help protect vehicles from vandalism and break-ins. Employees will feel more comfortable when walking to their vehicles after work in a well-lit environment, especially in the Fall and Winter months. The licensed electricians at Expert Electric can install outdoor parking lot lighting for office buildings all throughout the Lower Mainland and Greater Vancouver area.

Outdoor parking lot lighting is very important for retail businesses for many of the same reasons as it is important for office buildings. Retail businesses have plenty of valuable inventory and assets on hand and are often targeted with burglaries. A well-lit parking lot can help prevent burglaries from occurring. Outdoor parking lot lighting is also important for retail shops to remain in business. Customers will not want to visit a store during the evening if it does not have sufficient outdoor parking lot lighting. Parking lot lights help keep customers secure, especially for retail locations that are open late at night. Expert Electric can install outdoor parking lot lighting in a variety of different types of retail stores including

Restaurants and bars are usually open later than most other businesses which makes their parking lots more vulnerable to crime. Hiring parking lot security can be expensive and installing security cameras does not necessarily prevent vandalism and burglaries from taking place. Installing parking lot lighting in restaurants and bars can significantly help reduce vehicle break-ins, vandalism and theft. Customers will feel more comfortable when walking to and from the building during evening hours when the parking lot is properly lit.

As you look around your home, you can probably find at least 10 things that you would like to upgrade or change. Lighting is one of those things you can upgrade and make a huge difference in your home by really doing very little. One of the latest trends in lighting is something called recessed lighting. New homes are typically built with recessed lighting. There are some real benefits to recessed lighting that your electrician in Burbank can point out for you. The team at The Electric Connection can explain more about recessed lighting if you are interested.

1-Recessed lighting can make a room look bigger. It is a lighting trick that can transform a small space with something that is referred to as wall-washing. The washing part is due to light being reflected onto the wall by using a special trip around the light base. This is something you can learn more about when you talk with your electrician. Burbank homeowners will be amazed at the difference recessed lighting can make in a room.

2-The room will feel bigger because there isn’t a light fixture hanging from the ceiling and taking up space. Some light fixtures create shadows and dark areas in the room that make it feel and look smaller.

3-Recessed lighting reduces the risk of a light fixture and the bulb being damaged and shattering all over the room. Accidents do happen, but you can reduce the risk of someone being hurt when a ball is thrown or somebody gets a little wild with the broom.

Your Burbank electrician will take care of the installation of the recessed lighting. You will get to choose the rim color and design. There are plenty of options to choose from and you are sure to find one that perfectly suits your tastes. Give The Electric Connection a call today and schedule your recessed lighting installation.

Imagine how relaxing it would be to soak away the day’s stresses or invite friends over for a fun party featuring your own hot tub. Having a hot tub or sauna in your backyard or patio area is a dream of many. These provide a lot of fun as well as stress relief and are more affordable than you may think. However, the idea of installing a hot tub is something you may not be ready to tackle yourself. Even if you are looking to save money, you may find that calling a Burbank electrical service, such as The Electric Connection, is actually the best option. Consider the following before you think about installing a hot tub yourself.

Safety

Even if you are a skilled at home improvement projects, installing a hot tub can be a dangerous activity. This is because installing a hot tub combines water and electricity. You do not want to take the risk of injury to yourself or others by making a mistake in the installation. A licensed electrician in Burbank has the background to make certain he or she is not injured and the electrician should have insurance in case there is an issue.

Equipment Care

In addition to your personal safety, you should also keep in mind properly caring for the equipment during the installation process. In many cases, you will void the warranty on a hot tub or sauna if you do not install it properly. So for this reason, search the internet for electrician Burbank and allow a professional to take care of this job for you.

If you are considering the installation of a hot tub, sauna or backyard water feature, find a Burbank electrician by visiting The Electric Connection’s website at ElectricConnection.com  or calling us and talking to a customer service specialist today.
