There are some real benefits to owning a portable generator. Many people use them during a power outage. This allows the home to have some basic essentials like a few lights and maybe a refrigerator powered during the outage. Portable generators are ideal because they can be taken out when needed and quickly stored away when they are not.

There are plenty of different sizes of generators for you to choose from. Many people find the portable variety a better option over the hard-wired generators that are typically installed by an electrician. Pasadena residents can call The Electric Connection to find out more about the home generators that provide power within seconds of the power going out.

One of the benefits of the portable variety is the ability to take the generator with you on camping trips or on day outings. These tend to be the smaller wattage generators that will only produce enough power to run a couple of small appliances.

Although portable generators have the added mobility benefit, they can be cumbersome and in some cases, quite loud. Typically, the larger generators will have wheels to aid in movement, but they are still quite heavy and not very portable. Another benefit to the hard-wired generators is the fact they are enclosed in a box that muffles the sound. This is ideal when you are in a neighborhood or at night when you are trying to sleep.

Your electrician in Pasadena can help you weigh your options and provide you with the information you need to make the best generator choice. One of the deciding factors will be how much you want to spend. Portable generators are less expensive. If you have more questions and want to get an estimate for a generator installation, give The Electric Connection a call today to schedule an appointment.

There is nothing more important than keeping your family safe, and one of the best ways to provide protection for your Des Moines home is with the addition of security lighting. Adding lights and motion sensors to the exterior of your home will provide greater protection, deter home intruders, and when installed professionally, can even improve the curb appeal of your house.

One of the best places to add additional lighting to your home is along the driveway. Not only will your driveway become a grand entrance to your home, it will eliminate the chances of someone hiding in the shadows. Additionally, placing additional lighting in your backyard has the same effect; the goal is to eliminate dark areas on your property that give crooks a place to hide.

Most homes with porches already have some sort of lighting, but with the addition of motion sensors to entryways, you can increase the level of security provided while minimizing the amount of electricity being used by your home. While it may be excessive to leave the lights running full blast throughout the night, motion sensors will shine a light on anyone attempting to enter your home.

There are plenty of security lighting kits available on the market, but which one is right for you? When you contact Electrical Gurus, we can design and install specialty lighting for your home that will increase the security and accentuate the look of your house.
