Electrical panels. They come in many brands, GE, Square D Homeline, Square D QO, Cutler-Hammer, Seimens, Federal Pacific, and Zinsco among them. Do you know what type you have? That's handy information when you call for extra circuits or troubleshooting. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">We always ask that you send us a picture of your panel with the door open before we begin a job. This helps us determine the type, size, and availability of breaker space. With this information we can tell a lot about a job before we arrive, making us better prepared, and a prepared contractor can do their job much faster.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Do you know which among the electrical panels are fire hazards? Federal Pacific and Zinsco. You can find links on the page "Is My Panel Safe" for more detailed information. If you have one of these, it is time for a panel change. The amount of damage caused by one of these faulty panels can be extreme! Here is a picture of a Zinsco Electrical Panel </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzbJewZ8fsf4xB32iQEhShLgXD9Bb68h9_YLtsjE58yxPk2R_zBalCPiCI1_WkkDSJO1Nnll1CgDWQvh9Oj3pgYa_ZY8qbrmmI5DgX_C38IzQRG5tCWQ7OCFZuExHP685aRSaLQY5BXKf2/s254/zinsco+panel.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="199" data-original-width="254" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzbJewZ8fsf4xB32iQEhShLgXD9Bb68h9_YLtsjE58yxPk2R_zBalCPiCI1_WkkDSJO1Nnll1CgDWQvh9Oj3pgYa_ZY8qbrmmI5DgX_C38IzQRG5tCWQ7OCFZuExHP685aRSaLQY5BXKf2/s0/zinsco+panel.jpeg" /></a></span></div><p></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><p></p></blockquote><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">And here is a picture of a Federal Pacific (FPE) electrical panel</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjws5GrclwgCgj-zodiHT8luCx73OppYU3r9-TXZtRgTjGcjS7cgYzX9_0UEf_Z1VtuQm7aPloJZwfDi-_odXvPGUzXTmy4IKON9vn8q7W9CpXCpuIdG2Nemp7SzLIUzRnfP4qXUAqLirFD/s299/fpe.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="168" data-original-width="299" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjws5GrclwgCgj-zodiHT8luCx73OppYU3r9-TXZtRgTjGcjS7cgYzX9_0UEf_Z1VtuQm7aPloJZwfDi-_odXvPGUzXTmy4IKON9vn8q7W9CpXCpuIdG2Nemp7SzLIUzRnfP4qXUAqLirFD/s0/fpe.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">If you find you have either of these, please call right away so we can get it replaced for you. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Any electrical issues with your panel, including tripping breakers, is a signal to call an electrician. Those breakers trip for a reason, and we should get to the bottom of it before any damage occurs in your wiring or panel. It could be as simple as a worn-out breaker or as serious as a break in one of your electrical lines.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">You may also find that your panel schedule - the writing on the inside of the door of your electrical panel - may be incorrect or not there at all. We'd be happy to come to trace out the correct panel information for you. It takes a bit of time but makes life easier if you have a tripped breaker. If your panel is labeled, you'll know what circuit to tell us it is on.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">I hope this information was helpful!

The life of the bulb is over 10 years, meaning no more up and down the ladder every 6 months for bulb changing. The light produced can be in many tones to match your mood or room. According to Xcel Energy they use 70-90% less energy! Plus you can get discounts or rebates on LED's at participating stores. I've included a link to Xcel Energy's lighting rebate page below.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"> <a href="https://www.xcelenergy.com/programs_and_rebates/residential_programs_and_rebates/lighting">https://www.xcelenergy.com/programs_and_rebates/residential_programs_and_rebates/lighting</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">LED's come any way you would want a light. Undercounter strips to regular bulbs to LED Edison style bulbs. Here are a few pictures of the different types of LED bulbs and light fixtures. As you can see, your imagination is the limit with these awesome bulbs and fixtures! Do a quick Google search for LED lighting, you'll be amazed at what you can do and save so much energy!</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgunZszvatChBMoe-KnCvtuT2NjkgP3DM3Xcm1Wt5ryKCUUIm4IX6cp_vj2cEm6MObpK2tlabrPjcvATMsQWxOQTP1wdrtEi46ZUVvKuf8YMykh1rYUjiRKNr7P46FXFJ0Ryewh0ScNO9U9/s274/150Wequiv+standard+bulb.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em;

What is a Whole House Fan?</h1>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 40px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
A whole house fan is a type of fan or exhaust system that is installed in the attic of a home that is designed to circulate, exhaust, and ventilate air. A whole house fan is often confused with an attic fan which only exhausts the hot air inside the attic rather than the entire volume of air inside of the home.</div>

How does a Whole House Fan work?</h1>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 40px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
A whole house fan pulls air into a home from open windows and exhausts it through the attic and out the attic vents. This provides good home and attic ventilation in addition to a great cooling affect in your home. We recommend installing a system that provides 15-22 complete air exchanges per hour.

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 40px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
None of our QuietCool models require a dedicated circuit to operate correctly. All QuietCool models run between 1 to 5 amps and should work fine on all existing services. This saves a considerable amount of time and materials over an old fashioned whole house fan.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">As
a landlord, you are responsible for ensuring that your rental property is safe
from any electrical issues. Failure to provide adequate safety measures can
result in costly legal procedures, warns <a href="https://bighornrentals.com/copper-mountain-lodging">Bighorn Rentals</a>. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc">

</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">While occasional tripping is normal, repeated
ones may mean trouble. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc">

</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Rats and mice love to chew on electrical
wiring and damaged or frayed wiring is definitely a fire hazard<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l2 level1 lfo1;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Hot ceiling fixtures<o:p></o:p></span></li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">This could be a sign of insufficient
insulation. Also, consider switching to LED or fluorescent bulbs, as these
don’t produce much heat like incandescent bulbs which can pose a potential fire
hazard.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l2 level1 lfo1;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Broken light switches and loose

</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">If outlets or switches stop working or
only work intermittently, then this could be a sign that wires are loose. If
that’s the case, this cannot only create a potential for electrical shock, but
it can also be a potential fire hazard.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l2 level1 lfo1;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Flickering lights<o:p></o:p></span></li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Flickering lights are a sign of a power
surge. And they can take a toll on your electrical fixtures as well as your
appliances.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l2 level1 lfo1;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Buzzing sounds<o:p></o:p></span></li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Do your switches and outlets give out
buzzing or sizzling sounds? If they do, consult a professional electrician
immediately. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l2 level1 lfo1;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Warm or sparking switches and outlets<o:p></o:p></span></li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">If your light outlets are sparking or are
warm, consider having them inspected by a qualified electrician. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l2 level1 lfo1;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Counterfeit electrical products<o:p></o:p></span></li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Another common cause of electrical
problems is the use of counterfeit electrical products. It goes without saying
that these can be incredibly dangerous. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l2 level1 lfo1;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Arc faults<o:p></o:p></span></li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">These are a frequent cause of electrical
fires. Fortunately, you can prevent them by installing an arc-fault circuit
interrupter (AFCI) device. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l2 level1 lfo1;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Unfamiliar or funny odors: <o:p></o:p></span></li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">New appliances often produce an unfamiliar
odor upon being installed. The reason is usually superficial, as it could be
the appliance’s paint or finish. However, should a strong odor come off an
electrical outlet, unplug anything it connects to and call a qualified
electrician.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">For

on your state laws, their absence may be against the law.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">But
even if your state doesn’t require it, it’s your responsibility as a landlord

<br />
So you have a breaker that keeps tripping and won't stay on? Please, leave it off and call us immediately! Breakers trip for a reason - to cut off power to an overloaded or broken wire run. Breakers trip to prevent fire and shock hazards.<br />
Just the other day, we got one of these calls, turned out the stove plug had worn out on the back of the stove and was creating a short. Had the breaker stayed on, the homeowner would have been shocked when any metal on the stove was touched.<br />
Sometimes they trip if the circuit isn't large enough to handle everything running on it at once. Such as in a garage when multiple tools are plugged in and running, or in a kitchen with one too many appliances going at once. That type of tripping requires us to either enlarge the circuit breaker - if possible, pull an additional wire to the panel and add a circuit, or separate out some of the wires and add a new circuit.<br />
I'm talking here about circuits in your electrical panel, not the gfci outlets in your home, which trip earlier in the circuit line - if they are working properly and are there - for much the same reasons. You can find more info on gfci outlets on our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ABetterElectrician/" target="_blank">Facebook Page</a>. </div>
