Frequently Asked Questions
Here, you'll find answers about our offerings, safety standards, and how we can light up your space.
What makes LED lighting more beneficial than traditional lighting?
LED lighting is more energy-efficient, has a longer lifespan, and offers better light quality compared to traditional incandescent or halogen bulbs. This leads to lower energy bills and fewer replacements.
Can you install smart home devices?
Yes, we specialize in integrating smart home devices, including lighting, thermostats, and security systems, to create a more convenient, efficient, and secure home environment.
What should I do if my circuit breaker keeps tripping?
A repeatedly tripping circuit breaker is often a sign of an overloaded circuit or a potential electrical fault. It’s important to have a professional electrician diagnose and resolve the issue to ensure safety.
How often should electrical wiring be inspected?
We recommend having your home's electrical wiring inspected at least once every ten years for older homes, or if you're experiencing issues like flickering lights or circuit breakers tripping frequently. For new homes, an inspection every 15-20 years is advisable.
Is it necessary to upgrade my electrical panel?
If your current electrical panel is over 25 years old, you’re experiencing frequent breaker trips, or you plan to add significant new electrical loads, an upgrade may be necessary to ensure safety and capacity.
What is the difference between a fuse and a circuit breaker?
Both serve to protect an electrical circuit from overload. A fuse will melt when overheated, breaking the circuit, while a circuit breaker will trip, interrupting the flow of electricity. Circuit breakers are reusable, whereas fuses must be replaced after one use.
Can outdoor lighting increase home security?
Absolutely. Well-placed outdoor lighting can significantly deter potential intruders by eliminating dark spots and making it more challenging for unwanted visitors to approach unnoticed.
