As our trusted Richardson TX electricians at J-Five Electric know, properly-working electricity is one of the most crucial components of any home. Whether by lighting the family dinner table or powering the office air conditioner, electricity is essential to our everyday lives. As important as electricity is, however, it also presents certain safety hazards if you aren’t too careful. Here are some safety tips to ensure your electricity won’t get the best of you.

A common cause of electrical fires is frayed or broken cords or wires. If you come across these in your home, it is best to replace the cord entirely. Do not try to simply tape or hold the cord back together. By replacing the cord, you can save yourself from the worry that comes with faulty wiring.

Perhaps the most common electric no-no is using electricity near water. It may seem like everyone knows this, it’s the age-old image of the hairdryer in the bathtub. But even wet floors near electricity present hazards. Keep your electrical products away from showers, bathtubs, swimming pools, and any other large sources of water.

It is also essential to remember that electricity needs proper ventilation. Particularly with televisions, computers, and all their accessories, do not try to load too many plugs into one outlet. Use a surge protector to even out the charges. This will ensure that your appliances do not overheat, preventing a potential electrical fire.

Also remember that extension cords should only been used when necessary, and  are not a permanent solution to your electric needs. Have one of our trained, insured, and licensed electricians install additional outlets to better suit your electric needs.

As always, for all your residential or commercial electric questions or concerns, call us at 972-591-0325 or visit us online today.

When the temperature rises in the summer, often your electricity bill rises with it. Energy efficient choices can help alleviate high energy bills and make the summer strain on your electricity easier.

Turning off lights in rooms where no one is using them is a simple energy step to use in the summer months when daylight hours are longer. Use natural light when you can and call your Dallas TX electricians at J-Five Electric for all your residential lighting needs.

The strain on air conditioning units during the warmer months can be eased by using ceiling or oscillating fans. Fans are more energy efficient than a large AC unit.

Open the refrigerator door once while removing all the items you need instead of opening it multiple times. You might also consider washing dishes by hand every once in a while instead of running the dishwasher.

Hang clothes on a line during the summer months for energy efficiency. Your energy bill will benefit from running the dryer less. While these tips will help save energy, the professionals at J-Five Electric, your Dallas electricity company is here to help you with all your residential electricity needs.

As we continue through the spring and prepare for the summer, it is imperative to give your electrical system the same preventative-maintenance type of treatment as you would for your random appliances around the house, such as your air conditioning or heating unit or your water heater.

One thing you definitely want to steer clear of an electric arc, which is defined by Wikipedia as “an electrical breakdown of a gas which produces an ongoing plasma discharge, resulting from a current flowing through normally nonconductive media, such as air.”

Checking your electrical system should be a regular spring routine. In an effort to control arcing, here are some things to look for as your perform your routine maintenance.

• Check for burn marks: Burn marks at the main electrical panel can be a sign of arcing inside the panel. Arcing, which can be caused by loose connections or even damaged insulation, can lead to a bad fire.
• No unnecessary ignitions: All paper items or anything material that is considered combustible must be removed from the area of the main electrical panel. Items such as flammable liquids or even cardboard should be removed. Sparks caused by arcing can ignite these materials.
• Check each outlet: Make sure you know where your loose-fitting plugs are, as they can be a sign of a worn-out receptacle. These should be replaced immediately, as they can cause overheating and electrical fires.

For all of your maintenance issues, make sure you have a well-trained professional assigned to the task. Call our Dallas TX electricians at J-Five Electric today to schedule an appointment for your spring maintenance project. Contact our Dallas electrical company today, or visit us online for details.

Remember when saving on your light bulb meant switching from a 100-watt to a 60-watt bulb? While that did save a little money, that doesn’t compare to the money you could be saving if you use energy-efficient lighting such as an LED bulb.

An LED (light emitting diode) bulb is made to save money on your electricity. Regular incandescent bulbs can cost as much as 10 times its original purpose depending on how often it is used. While LED bulbs cost a little more, they last much longer than incandescent bulbs while using much less watts of electricity. LED bulbs use roughly five to 10 watts. The savings can really add up when LED bulbs are used in commercial environments.

LED bulbs are durable in that they hold up better to accidental bumps than incandescent bulbs. They do not have a filament, which means they will not get damaged under certain circumstances when an incandescent bulb might break. Additionally, LED bulbs do not cause heat build-up, which makes them more of the safety choice than incandescent bulbs.

LED bulbs are an excellent choice for the home or office, and our Dallas TX electricians are very knowledgeable in the topic. Give our Dallas electrical company a call today, or contact us online for more information on LED bulbs and their many advantages.
