Electrical Service Vancouver Washington

Be safe this week. The weather is a bit colder and which means the heaters or furnaces are running longer and more often. Have the furnace serviced so it runs at its peak performance. Clean out the heater motor compartment of dust to prevent the unit from over heating and possible fire.
Have an awesome day. Larry

Replace light bulb Vancouver Washington

“I changed out the light bulb and switch and it still does not work” says the home owner. This happens a lot. At the time it is not funny to the person that is trying to fix this situation. Afterwords when they hear what caused the problem and a day later, it is. It happens quite often. Someone changes the light bulb out, places it on the ground or better yet back into the box. They do this on a few lights as many wait until more light bulbs go out. When they are done they put the box of what appears to be extra light bulbs back on the shelf. Next time they need a light bulb instead of putting in a new bulb they are installing a burnt out bulb from before. Of course they then think it is the switch that needs to be replaced. That’s when we get the call. When you change out light bulbs put them off to the side so this doesn’t happen to you. Trust me, it happens a lot. Larry

Sparking plug Vancouver Washington

Many service calls that we go on home owners mention when they plug something into an outlet or socket a big spark comes out of it. In many cases this is normal. Electronic devices and appliances have things that run all the time even when the unit is in the off position. When you plug the cord into the plug outlet or socket electricity is jumping from metal to metal with a call for power, (a electrical load), thus the arc, spark coming from the plug. You should have a surge protector at a minimum between that electronic device and or appliance. In reality you should have whole house surge protection installed for all things plugged in. A few hundred dollars in many cases will save you thousands down the road as small surges coming into and within your home ruining your electronics. To eliminate the spark from happening turn off the breaker at the electrical panel or fuse box. Any questions feel free to call me at 360.883.3873. Larry
