Arc Faults

Arc-faults in a home are a leading cause of household fires. Properly installed Arc-fault breakers are designed to disconnect electricity before an arc starts a fire. This is new technology and is now an electrical code requirement in the state of Georgia. Find out if your electrical system has or can support this life saving device. 706-310-1330

Attic Fans

According to studies by the Home Ventilation Institute, home owners my experience as much as 30 percent savings on air-conditioning costs with an attic fan. Commonwealth Edison says air conditioners don't have to run as often when a house isn't fighting a hot attic. Any home with an unfinished attic needs an attic fan. An attic fan can: save homeowners up to 30 percent ontheir cooling bills, decrease temperatures in upstairs rooms by up to 10 degrees, lengthen roof life by keeping shingles cooler, add resale value to your home. ~ From the "Naperville Sun"

Circuit Breakers

Circuit Breaker Tripping Off?

A circuit breaker is designed to trip off when it detects too much power running through the wire it's protecting. There are three main reasons circuit breakers trip off:

There is a short circuit.
There is an overloaded circuit.
The circuit breaker is broken.

Short Circuits
Short circuits occur when two electrical wires accidentally touch each other. A short circuit will immediately cause one of your circuit breakers to trip off or one of your fuses to blow.

To fix a short circuit, ask yourself this question: "What was happening right before the short circuit?" If you had just plugged something into a receptacle (outlet) or turned on a light or an appliance, then this gives you a clue as to what caused the short.

If you just plugged in an iron, for instance, you can simply un-plug the iron and then re-set the circuit breaker or replace the fuse. If everything is now OK, then your electrical system is fine - and it's time to get a new iron!

If, however, you can't find anything plugged in which is causing the problem, then it's time to call a good electrician to locate and repair your short circuit.

Overloaded Circuit
Overloaded circuits occur when too much power is running through an electrical wire. To protect the wire, the circuit breaker does its job by detecting the overload and tripping off. The solution to this problem is to remove some of the appliances that are connected to the overloaded wires. You may wish to add a new set of wires so that you can supply power to all your appliances. For this, you'll need a good electrician.

Broken Circuit Breaker
Sometimes circuit breakers just wear out and need to be replaced. A knowledgeable homeowner with electrical skills can do the job. Otherwise, hire a good electrician.

Light Bulbs

Light Bulbs that burn out often.

This can happen for a couple of different reasons. First, it might be that the wattage is too high for the type of fixture. Most completely inclosed fixtures only allow for a 60watt bulb max. (Most fixtures will have the bulb type, and wattage printed on the fixture.) Second, the socket might be burned or damaged. If a bulb is not making good contact within the socket, then some electrical arcing will occur and cause power surges in the bulb, thus shortening the life span of the bulb. Most bulbs will only last about 2,000 hours, using a bulb for 8 hours a day, a bulb should last around 8 months.
