If you are thinking about updating the existing lighting scheme in your home you may not realize there are a lot of different options to choose form. Nowadays, the standard single light fixture in the center of a room is outdated. There are so many new and exciting ways to light up your house. You will be amazed at what an electrician in Burbank can do with your current boring lighting scheme. The staff at The Electric Connection is here to help you transform your home into one that is bright and inviting.

Track Lighting

This is a great option for a kitchen or living room. Several lights are mounted along a track that runs straight or in a U-shape. The lights can be directed at different angles allowing you the freedom to light up a whole space with just one switch. You will have the freedom to choose the wattage of each bulb. This is like having 4 lights without the extra fixtures.

Recessed Lighting

These lights are great for areas where you don’t want anything hanging and getting in the way. It also has a very clean look that many people find desirable. The lights are mounted into the ceiling making them flush with ceiling. You can choose to have several lights installed that will light up an entire room without ever getting in the way of hanging pots and pans or hanging plants.

Undercounter LEDs

These are excellent options for bringing light into the dark areas of your home. Under the counter LEDs can be installed by an electrician. Burbank homeowners will be able to use their countertops freely without worrying about blocking the overhead light and risking an injury. If you would like to learn more about the different lighting options or would like to schedule your appointment to have your lighting updated, give The Electric Connection a call today.

According to The Electrical Safety Foundation International, electrical incidents cause 43,900 home fires, 438 deaths, 1,430 injuries and result in $1.47 billion in property damage each year. May is National Electrical Safety Month and helps promote safety education and awareness to reduce the number of electrical related accidents. In honor of Electrical Safety Month, Mr. Electric® has complied a list of simple tips for a safer home.

Being the owner of a plant is a big responsibility and it is very important to keep your equipment in working condition. You need to remember that all your maintenance must be planned in an efficient way for both economic and energy efficiency.

Usually when you choose to partake in your routine maintenance, it may cause a delay in your production resulting in loss of income. All safety electrical equipment that is used on a continuous basis will require a lot more maintenance than your equipment that is used rarely, although they will still need to be maintained.

Even though you may maintain your equipment on a regular basis there will be times that your equipment could break. You will then need to take all costs into consideration before deciding whether you should repair the equipment or to just replace it completely.

To help you decide, you should analyze what you have already spent on the equipment as well as what it will cost to maintain it in the future. Once you have done that you should compare it to what it would cost you to acquire newer equipment that may cost less to maintain.

Your kitchen is probably the most important room in your house. In most floor plans, it is also one of the most visible areas. Because of this, most people like to keep their kitchen modern and of course, gorgeous. If you are thinking of selling your home anytime soon, the kitchen is typically the place your realtor will advise you to invest in. Thankfully, you can hire an electrician in Los Angeles to help you with a kitchen makeover. The team at The Electric Connection has a staff of well-trained and professional electricians who will make your dream of an updated kitchen a reality.

A complete kitchen update would typically include new appliances. Depending on the age of your home, you may need some upgrades to your Los Angeles electrical system. While the electrician is there, it is a good time to have additional outlets installed. It seems like there are never enough outlets for all of the appliances we use to make our lives easier. Your electrician would also be able to update your old outlets with the much safer GFCIs. These outlets reduce the risk of electrical shock due to water coming into contact with electricity.

If you are not ready to do a complete makeover, you can opt to simply have your lighting fixtures updated. This is a much more economical option while still giving you dramatic results. You would be amazed at the difference new lighting can do for a room. You have plenty of choices when it comes to choosing a new light for your kitchen. Take a trip to your home improvement store or lighting store to see the variety of options available to you.
