A surge protector is designed to protect electrical devices
from voltage spikes. A surge protector attempts to limit the voltage supplied
to an electric device by either blocking or by shorting to ground any unwanted
voltages above a safe threshold.

How Electricity Works
Electricity works when a circuit is made of a conductor, a
load or electricity-consuming device and a ground. Electricity will flow
through the conductor to the load and finally to the ground to complete the
circuit.

Power Tools and Electrical Safety
Before you start work with power tools, check electric cords
for wear. If you're outside or in a wet location, be sure tools and extension
cords are suitable for outdoor use and circuits are equipped with Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) which prevent serious shock.

Maximize Electrical Safety In Your Home
There are a few basic things that you need to know and
implement to maximize electrical safety in your home.
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.
Current passing through your body can cause electric shock,
resulting in potential injuries. One of the most effective protections against
electrocution is the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI).
Always use a Licensed Electrician for electrical repairs. A
licensed contractor has the training and experience to get the project done
safely and correctly.

Weather Effects on Electrical Systems
The weather can have serious effects on your home or
building's electrical system, its components, and everything that is connected
to them. Thunderstorms bring wild weather with lightning that can send a jolt
to you electrical service.
This can damage the electrical system itself and everything
connected to it. Flooding rains can get into your house or building, cause
electrocution hazards, damage electrical connections, and leave the devices it
touched unsafe.
Electrical safety is everyone's responsibility. Electrical
safety should be observed every time you even think about touching something
connected to an electrical circuit, especially during storms.

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
