Home lighting serves two major purposes: functionality and aesthetics. When walking into a dark room, the last thing you want is to have to navigate to the other side to turn on the lights. This can be unsafe and highly impractical. When it comes to aesthetics, the right lighting can change an entire room and its atmosphere. With dimmer and three way switches, you can bring functionality and aesthetics to any room in your home.

Standard switches control a light fixture or set of lights from one location. For larger sized rooms or long hallways it isn’t practical to have one light switch placed at only one end or in the middle of the room. This is where three way switches come in handy. With a three way switch, you can have two separate switches to a single fixture or set of lights. In this way you can strategically place light switches around your home to ensure there is always easy access to light.

Three way switches can be complex and difficult to install. When replacing standard switch it can be easy to mix up the wiring and your light switch will no longer work. This is where a professional electrician helps you out the most. Plan out where you feel more light switches are needed and contact one of our electricians to install the switch correctly the first time and help you avoid a headache and potential safety risk.

When it comes to dimmer switches, not only can they help you accomplish beautiful lighting in your room, but it can also be a practical decision. With a dimmer switch you can adjust the voltage going to your light rather than simply having an “on” or “off” setting. With either a slider or a knob you can adjust your light so it is perfect for reading, movies, or a romantic evening.

Dimmer switches can also help you save money by lowering your electrical bill. By having the ability to lower the voltage to your lights, you can use only the electricity you need and lower the lights to the perfect level. Remember, if you are planning to use LED lights on a dimmer switch, make sure you purchase LED bulbs that support dimming. If you choose the wrong type of bulbs, your dimmer switch will not leave you with the desired effect.

Power outages were something that we all thought were fun as kids. Any distraction from the normal routine was enough to excite us back then. Of course, looking back, our parents probably didn’t think that they were as much fun as we did, and with good cause. Power outages can be very disruptive, and can even create hazardous conditions in the home. If you own your own home now, you may want to consider the installation of a backup generator on your property. Backup generators in Boston, MA can help you to go about your business even when the power from the grid fails. Just remember that professional backup generator services are a must. Schedule your generator installation, repair, and maintenance with the professionals here at FB Electrical Services.

While very short power outages may not be that big of a deal for most people, the fact of the matter is that one can never be sure just how long any power outage can last. Some people keep a portable generator on hand, and these systems are capable of powering a few appliances or electronics that are plugged directly into the generator. This is fine for a quick fix or for recreational purposes. A backup generator, though, offers a level of performance that portable generators just aren’t on part with, though.

A backup generator is a permanent installation on your property, fueled by natural gas, diesel, or propane, generally. They are able to power whole systems throughout the house, depending upon the size and power of the generator. This means that, rather than running outside in a storm with an armful of extension cords, you can just fire up your generator and live as you normally would until the power from the grid comes back on. This is especially beneficial in any homes where medical equipment is in use, but everyone stands to benefit by having power continue to flow even when the electricity to your home cuts out.

Also, consider an automatic transfer switch for your generator. This may be an individual component, or you may purchase a generator with such a switch integrated directly into it. These switches are able to monitor the electricity in your home, and when the power goes out, they will start right up in order to minimize any disruption to your comfort or convenience. You won’t even have to leave the house to turn your generator on with such a system. To learn more about backup generators or to schedule professional generator services, just dial our number today.
