Recessed lighting continues to be among the most popular types of lights to install inside a home or office. This is lighting that generally lies flush with the surface of your ceiling, but may extend outward with a dome feature as well. Generally, it may be used as a spotlight feature in your home, shining light over a family photo above the mantel in a fireplace as an example, or it may be used to provide more subtle, ambient lighting. Many homeowners and business owners alike will combine recessed lighting with other forms of lighting in space to enjoy another option for controlling the brightness and even direction of lighting in a room.

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.
