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.

One of the main issues for homeowners is maintain safety in and outside of the home. Keeping a porch light on can increase safety, but it also can run up your light bill in the long run.

Rather than relying on a porch light, our Dallas TX electricians suggest installing motion sensor lighting, which will not only provide safety but also save energy. Motion sensor lights automatically turn on when they detect motion in the range of its sensors and turn off after a certain time span. This serves as a cost-effective way to help protect you and those around you.

All families are recommended to switch to motion sensor lighting for the following reasons:

No surprise criminals: A burglar is expecting a home to be empty when he doesn’t see a porch light on. Once the intruder steps into sensor range and the lights come on, a burglar will flee quickly.

Animal deterrence: Motion sensor lighting can be great for those who live in rural areas that often feature the occasional raccoon or deer. These animals are not fond of sudden lights, and they will help to keep the unwanted pests away from your property.

Night-time safety measures: If you live in an area without many street lights, motion sensor lighting will be beneficial as you make it to your driveway during the late evenings. No longer will you have to tiptoe in an attempt to not trip over stairs or anything else in your hard.

Additional security: Many homes have home security systems that will monitor all indoor intrusion. Motion sensor lighting will help motion all outdoor intrusion, giving a home full security.

Motion sensor lighting is an excellent option for your home for various reasons. Our Dallas TX electrical company can install these lights for you at an affordable rate. Call us today, or visit us online for additional information.

You ever warm something up in the microwave, and then all of a sudden, for no reason whatsoever, the microwave stops working? This can be frustrating – particularly if your microwave is somewhat new.

Before jumping to conclusions, our Dallas TX electricians understand that the problem may not be the microwave at all. Some people don’t realize that when it comes to electrical outlets, it’s as simple as flipping off – and then on again – a circuit breaker.

Microwaves draw quite a bit of power, and if they are sharing an outlet with another appliance that draws a lot of power, it may lead to a circuit tripping. Other appliances that use lots of power are electrical heaters, large televisions, DVD players and computers. Keep in mind that an outlet can only do so much – and if you try to overwork it, it’ll let you know by shutting everything down.

Fortunately, this problem is resolved simply by going to your circuit box and resetting the circuit. Simply turn the circuit for five seconds and then turn it on to restore power. If your power doesn’t come back on after this, you have an electrical issue, and you must call a certified electrician.

For all of your electrical inquiries, do not hesitate to contact our qualified technicians. Call our Dallas electrical company today, or contact us online.
