Electrical Service Panels

Everywhere you look, electricity is connected to something. It may be the service line feeding your home or business, outlets feeding devices, or switches that control the lighting. The electrical service panel (or breaker box as it often called) is the most vital part of your electrical system. 

The electrical service panel is used to connect to the power lines from the utility company and also delivers electrical current to all of the circuits. The electrical service panel is also your primary line of defense against electrical problems in your home or business. Circuit breakers turn the power to your home and business on and off to protect wiring from damage or fire when an electrical short or overcurrent occurs.

If your home or business needs a service panel upgrade or more power overall, use the services of a professional electrician like Rogoz Electric to upgrade the power, including a new electrical service panel. Call 623-363-5648 for Licensed, experienced electrician services!

Outdoor Lighting For Safety and Security

A well-lighted front entrance enables you to greet guests and identify visitors at night. Wall lanterns on each side of the door will give your home a warm, welcoming look, while assuring the safety of those who enter. A separate rear or side entrance can be lighted with a single wall lantern installed on the keyhole side of the door. 

Outside the garage, mount a lantern on each side or install a single fixture above to provide lighting for safety and security. Consider installing a motion sensor on these fixtures or a photocell that turns the lights on at dusk and off at dawn to enhance safety and save energy. 

Remember to always use a licensed electrical contractor for you electrical repairs or improvements. Call Rogoz Electric at 623-363-5648 or visit us online at http://www.myazelectrician.com

Preventing Home Electrical Fires

Most electrical fires in the home result from problems with fixed wiring, such as faulty electrical outlets and old wiring. Problems with cords and plugs, such as extension and appliance cords, also cause many home electrical fires.

Routinely checking your electrical appliances and wiring can help prevent home fires. Frayed and damaged wires can cause fires. Replace all worn, old or damaged appliance cords immediately. Use electrical extension cords wisely and don't overload them. 

Overloading is a common cause of electrical fires. This happens when you plug too many appliances into the same outlet, extension cord or power strip. Rogoz Electric recommends buying power strips equipped with internal overload protection, in which a strip is shut off if it becomes overloaded.

Keep electrical appliances away from wet floors and counters. Pay special care to electrical appliances in the kitchen and bathroom like irons, hair dryers or irons, and even lamps. Any electrical appliance can start a fire if it makes contact with flammable materials like blankets, towels and rugs. 

Always hire a licensed electrical contractor like Rogoz Electric for all your residential and commercial electrical needs! 623-363-5648 http://www.myazelectrician.com

Power Outlet Safety

Practice safety with all power outlets. Notice any outlets where plugs only fit in loosely. These can overheat and cause fires.

There are several products you can purchase which dramatically increase protection against dangerous electrical currents.

One of the most effective protections against electrocution is the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI).

These outlets measure changes between currents coming in through the live wire and leaving through the neutral and will cut off power if any differences are detected.

They are especially important in wet areas such as bathrooms and kitchens.

Electrical Appliance Safety

Being safe when using electrical appliances, extension cords, light bulbs and other equipment is very important. It only takes one mistake to cause an injury or spark an electrical fire.

Unplug unused appliances and stow cords safely out of reach of pets, young children or hazardous situations. Appliances that generate heat, such as clocks, televisions and computer monitors, should be given several inches of clearance all around for good air circulation and cooling.

Follow electrical safety precautions carefully, and do not attempt amateur repairs or upgrades. Always call a licensed electrician like Rogoz Electric for projects and repairs. Call 623-363-5648 for a free estimate! http://www.myazelectrician.com.com

Electrical Storm Safety

During an electrical storm, do not use appliances (i.e., hairdryers, toasters and radios) or telephones (except in an emergency); do not take a bath or shower; keep batteries on hand for flashlights and radios in case of a power outage; and use surge protectors on electronic devices, appliances, phones, fax machines and modems. Whole home surge protection is an effective way to protect your electronic devices and equipment. Call Rogoz Electric at 623-363-5648 to learn more! http://www.myazelectrician.com
