A Timeless StyleIn the post-Victorian era, brass chandeliers shimmered with crystal drops and porcelain lamps were embellished with colorful floral themes. For members of the British aristocracy, the early 20th century was a time of elegance, luxury and opulence.

A quick glance through the latest designer catalogs are ample evidence that the decor of previous eras are still hugely popular. The style can easily be recreated with antique brass desk lamps. In contemporary homes, an elegantly crafted modern light fixture can give you the look of the most treasured antique.

One of the most important decisions you can make regarding protection from electrical storms is the installation of a whole house surge protector. This will protect all the sensitive electronic equipment in your home from surges and transient voltages from lightning as well as electrical surges from many other sources.

Lightning strikes carry millions of volts and cause the deaths of many people every year, so it’s important to learn how to stay safe when these storms arrive. Quite a few people have actually died from electric shocks delivered by phone lines during telephone conversations, so portable phones are much safer than corded phones. Because copper pipes can carry electric current, it’s important to avoid using or touching water faucets during a storm. One of the most dangerous places you can be in a storm is a small boat, so it’s important to get to shore as quickly as possible as soon as you see evidence of an incoming electrical storm.

Everyone living in gulf states like Texas should educate themselves about storm safety, by studying government websites and reading available literature. For more information, please use these links to visit the following important websites:

When a home or commercial building needs electrical work, many owners make the mistake of only getting a single estimate for the job. Getting multiple estimates may take longer than just having one Denver electrician visit the premises, but this extra time could lead to substantial savings and a better quality of workmanship.

There are several important aspects of any project that should be included in an electrical  estimate. Both material costs and labor costs should be specified. Any special fees for work permits or city inspections should also be listed. Sales tax and hazardous material fees should be indicated as well. In addition, the estimate should include a date that the amount is guaranteed through as well as a “not to exceed” price point.  . Any estimate should allow home and business owners to compare the quality of the materials used by different electrical contractors and getting multiple estimates in writing can help property owners compare the hourly labor rates of contractors as well as any other service fees.
