Springtime Electrical Checkup!

Spring is the perfect time to do many things, like get your oil changed in your car, clean up your yard etc. It is also a perfect time to give your home an electrical safety checkup!

1. Are your outlets and switches working correctly? If they are not working properly this could be a hazard in your home because the wiring could be unsafe which could lead to a fire. 
2. Are your outlets or switches feeling warm? If you go to touch an outlet or switch and they feel hot, this could indicate there is a problem with the wiring in your home. You should stop using the outlet right away and have an electrician (or us Quality Electric Service :) ) come out to troubleshoot it. 
3. Are your outlets or switches discolored? Discoloration of outlets and switches can mean that there is heat building up with the connections. Don't just ignore them, if that happens then it could cause melting or ever a fire. 
4. Are you hearing sizzling, buzzing, or crackling noises? Those noises usually signal unsafe wiring or a loose connection somewhere.

At Quality Electric we care about your families safety and needs along with your homes safety. That is why if you have any of those issues we encourage you to call us right away to prevent electrical fires, power outages and more. Call us today to schedule an appointment! 609.861.1409

Are you ready for the 2017 Hurricane Season?

Hurricane season is rapidly approaching us with only a little over a month away. This year NOAA has predicted 12 total named storms, 6 will turn into hurricanes and 2 will be a category 3 or higher hurricane.

We all know that hurricanes  can produce extremely high, dangerous winds, along with lightning and hail.  Power outages are all too common once a hurricane has stricken, and they are to be expected.  The high winds can take down power poles and cause damage to power plants.  It can take weeks and in many cases, months before power company personnel are able to fully restore power.

Being without power for hours even days at a time become such an inconvenience and an expensive one too. Your food can spoil, mold grows and basements that are prone to flooding are robbed of their working sump pump and being to take on water. These types of situations is where an Automatic Home Standby Generac Generator comes in handy. Once your electric goes out your generator turns on automatically, all hands free. The unit is wired into the homes electrical panel, eliminating extension cords. It begins powering heat, air condition, and well pumps moments after utility power fails. This means when it senses utility power has returned it safely shuts itself down and returns to standby mode.

So how will you prepare for this year’s hurricane season? Hopefully investing in a Generac Generator!
