Why does my light bulb burn out faster than expected?

A light bulb that prematurely burns out in a particular lamp or socket is a sign of a poor electrical connection. This causes heat build-up in the lamp, which burns out the bulb. A residential or commercial electrical contractor can identify the poor connection and repair it, which should resolve the issue.

What is a surge protector?

A surge protector is an appliance that protects an electrical device from voltage spikes. A surge protector is designed to limit the voltage flow to an electric device by blocking any unwanted voltages above a safe threshold. Contact a residential or commercial electrical contractor on our team today to learn more.

Are LED lights better than incandescent?

LED lights are more expensive to purchase than incandescent lights, but they’re more efficient. For example, according to Bobvila.com, they’ll last 50,000 hours instead of 1,200 hours. They also have a lower annual operating cost, which is great for people trying to “go green.” Contact a residential or commercial electrical contractor on our team today to learn more about why LED lights are a better fit for your needs.

What does “grounding” mean?

When you use an electrical appliance, the current flows from your service panel to the device. A grounded wire gives the unused electrical current a safe way back to the service panel so there’s no danger in the event of a short circuit. For more information about grounding and how a residential or commercial electrical contractor can use it as a safety measure, contact our team today.
