Safety and Power Saving Tips for the Household.

Posted on April 21, 2011 by admin

Safety and Power Saving Tips for the Household.

Maintenance and Prevention

  • Look for burn marks in your electrical panel – they can be a sign of arcing inside the panel, which can easily lead to a fire. Loose connections or damaged insulation can cause arcing. Note: Only a licensed and qualified electrician should remove the front panel cover.
  • Trip and reset the circuit breakers regularly – including GFCI circuit breakers.
  • Verify that all circuits in the electrical panel are correctly labeled. The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires that each time a circuit within a panel is revised that work must be reflected in the panel’s circuit directory.

    • Scotty Electric Electrician Service Home Tips

  • Check all electrical outlets for loose-fitting plugs. They are an indication of a worn out receptacle. Worn receptacles should be replaced as they can cause overheating and fires. Also check electrical outlets and switches to be sure they work properly. If any switches, outlets or receptacles are worn or do not work, have a licensed and qualified electrician determine the problem and fix it to avoid fires inside the walls of your home.
  • Install safety covers to help protect children from electrical shock. Any appliance or tool that gives even the slightest shock should be unplugged and checked by a licensed and qualified electrician or repair shop.
  • Make sure the light bulbs installed in all of your lighting fixtures are the correct wattage. The light fixture manufacturer recommends the correct wattage. If too high of a wattage bulb is used in a light fixture, heat produced inside the fixture can lead to fire inside the fixture, ceiling or wall.
  • Replace all extension cords that have become brittle , worn or damaged. Exposed wires can cause arcing, which will produce heat and can start a fire.
  • Test all ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) receptacles. These should be tripped and reset once a month. If they do not trip or reset, have a licensed and qualified electrician replace the receptacle.
  • Check to be sure the correct fuses are installed in your fuse panel. If your house is old enough to still have a fuse panel, be sure the correct fuse is installed for the branch circuit wire size. If too large of a fuse is installed it could cause overloading of the wiring and thereby lead to heat and a potential fire. If unsure, ask a licensed and qualified electrician to inspect the fuses in the electrical panel.
  • Inspect and clean dust and debris from the covers of your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.
  • Replace the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms twice a year.
  • Clean the clothes dryer exhaust duct, damper and space under the dryer. Poor maintenance allows lint to build up in the exhaust duct and could lead to a fire.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to call us. We take great pride in providing some of the best electrical service you’ll find in Connecticut! As always, we’re proud to be YOUR COMPANY FOR ELECTRICAL SERVICE!

Zinsco, Possible Hazard

A panel upgrade or replacement is usually required to alleviate a problem with the existing panel. Sometimes a breaker might overheat to the point that the buss bar in a panel gets burned. The conductors between the meter and panel may become loose and burn out the main lugs, especially common when aluminum conductors were used. Other common reasons to change out an existing panel are due to obsolescence and outdated technology. Split-buss panels, cheap builder-grade panels, panels contaminated by water, paint and corrosive environments are often candidates for replacement. Panels long ago manufactured by Zinsco and FPE have many issues and are considered a hazard by many in the industry.

The professionals electricians at Professional Electric only use the highest quality panels (load centers) manufactured by Square D or Cutler Hammer for your panel change out or upgrade. Every panel that we install has a lifetime warranty on the equipment and a 2-year warranty on the installation. The bottom line is we make sure the heart of your electrical system, the electrical panel, will be trouble free for years and years to come.

  • Apartment House Gang Meter Replacements

An electric service upgrade is often recommended or required to increase the capacity of the existing electrical service. With all the new appliances and technical devices we now have in our homes, we find that older homes just don’t have sufficient power available to handle the increased demand. Therefore, a “service change” is required. This may include not only upgrading your electric panel, but upgrading your meter socket, the wire between the meter and panel, the wire between the utility and the meter and the grounding system as well.

Why Upgrade From a Fuse Panel?

Insurance companies usually get uptight when they find out the home has a fuse panel and recommend that the panel be changed to a breaker panel system. Everyone is familiar with the old screw in fuses. And for those that have a fuse panel know that if the 15 amp fuse keeps blowing you can screw in a 20 amp, 25 amp, 30 amp fuse till the fuse stops blowing.

This is where the problem lies. The fuses are rated for the wire it is protecting. Our standard lights and receptacles work off a 14 gauge wire. The wire is rated to carry a maximum of 15 amps. So when we plug in too many devices on one circuit the fuse becomes overheated and ‘blows’. By using a larger fuse we may stop the problem of the fuse blowing all the time but the wire is rated to carry only 15 amps. Now that we’re used a larger fuse the wire becomes overheated, as it is working beyond capacity. These overheated wires are running through wood studs in the walls. The potential for fire now exists.

This is why the insurance companies would like the panel changed over from fuses to breakers. They know that the home will be much safer with a new breaker panel than the old fuse panel. Our electricians have changed over many old fuse panels that were in great shape for this very reason. There is nothing wrong with the panel. It’s human error where the problem lies.
