One would think that with the cold weather behind us, most of the electrical hazards we face would be put away in the closet with the space heater. But, other electrical appliances still need our attention. Electricians see a lot of the effects from lack of maintenance.

Now that Spring is here, we’re all breathing a sigh of relief that winter is over and we can get back to our long days, shorts and flip flops, and swimming pool fun.

Electricity is one of those things that most people generally take for granted. As long as the power flows freely when we plug in an appliance, and doesn’t spark or flicker, we’re inclined to not think about it.

A prolonged and catastrophic failure of the U.S electrical grid may seem like nothing but an apocalyptic science fiction for some but the truth is, this chances of breakdown are more likely than ever before.

With concern about climate change at an all-time high, the Palo Verde Nuclear Energy Plant generates a lot of excitement as a carbon-free energy source.

If you own a computer or other electronic equipment, you probably own a surge protector. Most surge protector designs serve an immediately obvious function, which is basically allowing you to plug various components into a single power outlet. But, there is much more to it than that.
