Electrical conduits are an electrical piping system made of plastic, metal, or fiber, that are used to provide wiring or cable route to protect it. The use, form and installation details for electrical conduits are specified by the wiring regulations such as the US National Electrical Code (NEC) or other national or local code.

The location of an electrical conduit will usually determine what kind of material may be used. Since electrical conduits are used mainly in the outer wall surface in exposed locations, they are made of a material that is either flexible or rigid.

The following are the most commonly used materials:

Rigid steel The type of conduit system that is to be applied depends upon the wall thickness, mechanical stiffness and the material used to make the tubing. The material can be chosen for mechanical protection, corrosion resistance and for cutting the costs on installation charges. As far as wiring regulations for electrical equipment in hazardous areas are concerned, certain kinds of conduits need to be used depending on the regulation specifications.

One possible sign that your heater is in trouble is if you discover cold spots throughout your home. There are a number of different potential causes for such a problem, and not all of them will even stem directly from your heating system. However, it is possible that your air ducts are damaged or that your heater is not forcing heat throughout the house properly. If this is the case, professional repairs are necessary to ensure that you are heating your home evenly and effectively.

Your heater will not operate silently, but it also should not be making unfamiliar, loud noises during operation, either. While a noisy performance is the sort of problem that many homeowners may not think too much about, such “minor” issues can actually spell serious trouble for your heater if not resolved promptly.

Chances are that your heating system is on a dedicated circuit. If your circuit breaker is tripping when your heater cycles on, then you may have a serious electrical problem on your hands. The good news? We employ some of the finest technicians and electricians in the area, and we can surely resolve your heating or electrical problems for you.
