It May be Time to get Rewired.

Regardless of how well a commercial building’s electrical system is designed, it will eventually need upgrades.  Improving electrical systems improves building utility and occupant safety, but it should be done carefully…this is not like giving the walls a fresh coat of paint!  What if you feel that your business’ electrical system no longer fills your needs?

Here are some areas to consider before rewiring –

1.  Lighting…always a major consideration

2.  Information technology…poor quality wiring can have very negative effects

3.  Emergency lighting…to help occupants exit the building swiftly and safely

4.  Meeting power requirements

One thing is absolutely certain…you need professional electricians to properly perform the job!  In Belen and the Central New Mexico area the company to call is Daylight Electric and HVAC.  You will “see the light” soon after you call Daylight Electric and HVAC.  That phone number is (505) 864-3980.  

Electricity vs. Mankind…Who wins?

I think the answer is electricity especially when it comes to replacing light switches and electrical outlets in your Belen and Albuquerque home.  Let’s take a look at a few tips, then you decide if you want to tackle the project yourself, or call in a certified electrician to do the job.  We think it’s an important decision.

When dealing with your home’s wiring –

1.  Remember not the reverse the wires

2.  When cutting wires, don’t make them too short.

3.  Don’t forget to turn the power off.

4.  If you are wiring a ground fault circuit interrupter make sure it is NOT backward.

You see, calling a professional electrician from Daylight Electric and Appliance is probably the best answer.  They have served just about any electrical problem you can imagine in the Belen and Albuquerque metro for years.  Now all you have to do is call (505) 864-3980…Oh, and stay away from those electrical outlets for now!

Underground Pedestals and Subterranean Enclosers.

No, this is not spelunking 101.  These are electrical devices that are needed for homes and businesses throughout the Albuquerque area.  Installing them safely and securely is just part of what we do.  When it comes to distributing power, pedestals enable the connection of underground cables to several customers within the cabinets.

Subterranean enclosers are switchboxes that are installed underground and are suitable for installing all types of equipment for either permanent or temporary conductivity.  They can remain underground both actively and passively.  Don’t worry, you do not have to understand all of this, because we do!

The ins and outs of electrical installation and repair are why we exist here in our home of Belen and around greater Albuquerque.  We are Daylight Electric and Appliance and as the name suggests if you need electrical work or appliances installed, we are the one and only call you need to make.  Call us at (505) 864-3980.

Underground vs. Overhead Electrical Feeders.

First of all, you should never mess with either, but it may be beneficial to know about them.  When you deal with service entrance cables in new Belen and ABQ area homes the question often comes up about underground and overhead feeders. Are underground feeds better than overhead feeds? 

Underground is safer but may be much more expensive.  The advantage of the underground feed is that there are no visible wires present, virtually eliminating the possibility of damage by storms.  With overhead service the feeder cables are exposed and suspended between the power pole and your home exposing them to the elements.

There are other factors to consider, but only one company to choose when installing or repairing underground or overhead electrical feeders.  That company is Daylight Electric and Appliance.  They have served the electrical needs of Belen and the surrounding Albuquerque area for many years.  Call them today at (505) 864-3980.
