Spring into a Brighter Home

With daylights saving time and spring right around the corner, it'll be time for late sunsets and warm breezes. But you won't need to step outside to soak up the season. Make your home feel brighter and you can enjoy the freshness of the season inside your home along with outside.

While "spring cleaning" is pretty standard for most, but "spring redecorating" sounds like a whole different beast but it can make a huge difference in your home. It does not have to be anything major. With these 5 tips we tackle lighting in a home. It's just that simple!

Most don't understand that indoor lighting is not only for illuminating your home. It's about much more then that. It's a way to maximize you home's energy-efficacy. You might be thinking this is the last thing you wanted to do this spring is redo / upgrade some lighting, but these little changes can have a huge impact on how your home preforms and the benefits that you will reap.

Focus On Quality Not Quantity: As much as you would like your home to be bright for your family and guest, having lights in every single space does not always mean it will brighten up the area.  If you focus on the quality of the light not the quantity, and you will see a real difference in the space.

Consider Function: A light in a bedroom will not need to be the same brightness as a light located in a rarely used utility closet. You really do not want to treat every room in your home with the same light brightness because you risk washing out an area and wasting energy.

Utilize Other Lighting: Ambient lighting is not always necessary in an area. If you can spare using a task light instead of ambient lighting, you can save energy and use the light for the purpose that it is intended for.

Swap Out Efficiency: Incorporating energy efficient lighting can help control and reduce the use of lighting when it is not needed. Adding controls or dimmer switches to your home is a great way to control the lighting and can help in the long run!

Don't Forget Daylight: One of the easier ways to maximize your energy-efficiency is to use the lighting nature has provided us. By opening blinds, pulling away curtains and arranging the home to where light peaks in, can not only make your space appear larger, it can also help you save on electric bills as well!

If you want lighting upgrades done, don't hesitate to give us a call!

Baby proofing everything electrical

Whether you like it or not, electrical products are a huge part of our daily lives. You find them in every room of your home. Power outlets, extension cords, phone chargers, computer cables and the list goes on and on. Sadly, none of these electrical products were designed with the baby's safety in mind.  It's very important to childproof your home, the right way so here are some tips below:

• Electrical Outlets: You should try to have tamper resistance outlets. Compared to normal outlets these outlets look like they have been filled with plastic. They are actually spring loaded shutters that close off the openings of contact. The only time the shutters will open is when then are pushed at the same time (I.E. plugging something into the outlet). Since the baby will not be able to push both openings open at once, the baby will be unable to to poke anything into the outlet. 
• Electrical Outlet Caps: Another good and inexpensive way to baby proof an outlet is to purchase electrical outlet caps. They go right into the outlet and have a flat surface on the outside to make it hard for the baby to get the covers out. The only down side to these is when you have to use the outlet you have to remove the cap and put them back on when you are done with the outlet.
• Electrical Outlet Covers: This is a great way to have the baby stop unplugging your items. The cover sits on top of your existing outlet. The clear plastic cover allows you to see what is plugged in. Unlike other baby proofing products the cover is easy to remove for adults yet difficult for children.  
• Child Proof Power Strip Covers: Power strips are commonly used
  
  in areas of the home which hold many electrical products in one area. They usually lay one the ground which makes it easy access for a child to play with the strip. A child proof power strip is a good solution to help. The cover slides over your current power strip and has a cut out for the cords to hang out.

Electric Heated Blankets, what you should know.

The cold weather months have arrived which means many people will be bringing out their electric blankets for added warmth. What is better then snuggling up with a warm cozy blanket on a very cold night?

Yes, they are great for keeping warmth but it is very important to remember that they are electric. Always remember safety first when it comes to any type of electricity. Check out some of these tips below.

Do choose a blanket that confirms to the Underwriter Laboratories (UL) standards. It's also a good idea to go online and check reviews, do a search to make sure the blanket is not recalled.

Don't use electric blankets on toddlers, babies or anyone who can not control the heat settings themselves.


Do try to keep the heated blanket flat rather the balled up or folded so the heat does not become too intense.

Don't use the heated blanket all night unless its specifically rated for safe use overnight. Also do not forget that your blanket is plugged in. Remember to turn it off before you go to bed.

Do look for an electric blanket that has an automatic timer for shut off. This is very helpful for those who seem to be forgetful.

Don't run the cord between the mattress and box spring or carpet. This could be very dangerous as all the friction could damage the cord for the electric blanket and potentially cause a fire.

Do take these tips into consideration when using / buying an Electric heated blanket. Here at Quality Electric we care about our customers and everyone's safety.

It is the winter season and it tends to become very cold . The colder winter weather increases the likelihood of heating related fires, fatalities and injuries. We want to share some simple tip that will help you and your loved ones stay safe all winter long. 

• Have your heating systems inspected by a qualified service professional at least once a year. This inspection should include lubrication and cleaning, replacing filters, a check of belts and thermostats and having vents cleared of obstructions.
• Make sure window air conditions do not allow cold air to sneak through or around sides, top and bottom, putting an extra strain on heating systems and adding cost for homeowners. Local hardware stores can provide covers and other easy, low-cost ways to keep that cold air out. 
• Caulking around windows and other openings can stop the cold air invasion. Caulking and a caulking gun from your local hardware stores and inexpensive and easy to use. A warmer home and lower utility bills can result. 
• Use products only for their intended purpose. Hair dryers are not intended to thaw frozen pipes, dry clothing or warm bedding. 
• When using a portable heater, keep flammable materials - bedding, clothing, draperies, rugs and furniture at least three feet away even if it has safety features such as cut-off switched or heating element guards. 
• If you use an electric blanket to keep warm on a cold night, follow the manufacturer's instructions and make sure you turn it off and unplug it when it's not in use. Never tuck an electric blanket in.

We hope you have a safe and wonderful winter. If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact us!

Electrical New Years Resolutions

As we are getting ready to take on the new year and 2018 quickly comes to an end, we have some  great electrical suggestions so you can get your home in order and save a few extra bucks next year .

1. Check Smoke and CO Alarms. You should always make it your goal to check these alarms at least twice a year (preferably around daylight savings). This will ensure that you are protected from danger should an unfortunate event arise.

2. Have a whole house surge protector installed. Power surges often come without warning and they can wipe out your entire electrical system if you are not prepared. With a whole house surge protector it will be one less thing you will have to worry about each night.

3. Stop buying inexpensive chargers. We are sure you guys always here "you get what you pay for" and it is most definitely very true when it comes to electronic device chargers. It's totally worth spending those few extra dollars for original equipment. There are tons of counterfeit products out there that can damage your electronic devices or even start a fire.

4.  Swap out old light bulbs. It's finally time, you should swap out those old light bulbs for LEDs. Yes, they may cost more now, but you will save a ton on money in the long run since they have a long lifespan.

5. Cut back on overall energy use. Sit down with your family and come up with a plan to figure out how you can cut back on energy use. Constantly remind everyone to turn off the lights, and electrical devices when they are not in use.

If you'd like to make some electrical changes give us a call! From lighting to whole house surge protectors and so much more, we are your team!
