Tripping Breaker? Get It Fixed!
If one of your breakers keeps tripping, it’s a clear sign that something in your electrical system is demanding more power than the circuit can safely handle.
Read MoreThe Truth about Standby Power Consumption
Standby power consumption occurs when electrical devices consume energy even when turned off or in standby mode.
Read MoreElectrical Wire Gauge
Wire gauge is a measurement of wire diameter. This determines the amount of electric current a wire can safely carry.
Read More3 Phase vs. Single Phase Power
Single Phase power is a two wire Alternating Current (AC) power circuit. Most people use it every day because it’s the most common household power circuit and powers their lights, televisions and some appliances. Typically there is one power wire and one neutral wire, and power flows between the power wire (through the load)…

Troubleshooting is a systematic search for the source of a problem in order to resolve it.
Read MoreElectrical Code Compliance
(NEC) standards ensure that electrical systems function properly and minimize the risk of fires or other hazards.
Read MoreThe Electrical Transformer
An electrical transformer is an electro-magnetic device that works by converting electrical energy from one value to another.
Read MoreResidential and Commercial Electrical Circuits
Electricity is a flow of electrons. A complete circuit is needed for electricity to flow. From the main electric service panel, electricity is divided into circuits throughout a building. The maximum amount of load that can be placed on any single circuit is controlled by a circuit breaker. Building circuits are parallel circuits. A parallel…
Read MoreLow Voltage Wiring
Low voltage wiring is the wiring for audio, video, telephones, alarm systems, HVAC, and generally any wiring for things using less than 24 volts. Low voltage is often used only with small electrical systems as it is not suitable for large-scale electrical projects. There are very real safety risks associated with low-voltage systems. Low-voltage can…
