Our Manteca Electricians Will Keep Your House Safe
Electricity isn’t something that you should ever take lightly. Faulty electrical wiring is the second leading cause of home fires, just behind cooking accidents, and is the number one cause of fire related home damage. Our Manteca electricians want to make sure that your family is safe so, we’ve put together a home safety checklist.
- Check all cords to make sure they are not frayed or cracked and are placed out of high-traffic areas. Cords should never be nailed or stapled to the walls or baseboards because the coating can be damaged through constant rubbing. Also, do not place cords under carpets or rugs or rest any furniture on them.
- Always check the wattage of all bulbs in light fixtures to make sure they are the correct wattage for the size of the fixture. Replace bulbs that have higher wattage than recommended. If you don’t know the correct wattage, refer to the packaging. New compact fluorescents often show a standard wattage comparison.
- Circuit breakers/fuses should be the correct size current rating for their circuit. If you do not know the correct size, have an electrician identify and label the size to be used. Always replace a fuse with the same size fuse. Using an incorrect fuse size can cause the electrical grid to short and cause a fire.
- Make sure you use surge protectors on electronic devices to prevent damage from lightning strikes or other major electrical surges.
- Use ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) in any area that may be prone to flooding. They can help prevent electrocution by shutting down electrical flow to any appliance that is in direct contact with water. It interrupts power fast enough to help prevent serious injury from electrical shock. Our Manteca electricians suggest you test your GFCIs regularly, according to the manufacturer’s instructions to make sure they are working properly.
Manteca Backup Generator Installation
Backup generators are a secondary source of power for your home or business to ensure that your lights and appliance keep running and you are not waiting for the utility company to solve the problem. Natural gas and propane are used as the secondary source of power. The power generated is delivered to a transfer switch that can switch between the street power and the generator power. The power delivered to your home or business can only come from one source and the switch is the part of the system that makes it all work.
When the power goes out, there are a few different options that can happen that will be discussed with a Gentec electrician during the estimate process. The transfer switch can be automatic or manual. Automatic does what it says, it automatically detects when the power goes out from the street, it starts the generator and then switches the power source to the generator. Another option is a manual switch. These types of switches rely on a person to go out and start the generator and then switch the power source.
When you call Gentec services, we can ensure that you are getting a quote for a highly trained electrician that will help guide you through the backup generator process in Milpitas that fits your needs. Installing a backup generator is a complex appliance to your home or business and it is important to have an expert install it. Call us today for a free quote.
