What…no hands?  Of course not, people who were poisoned by this noxious gas CAN’T raise their hand!  It must be prevented from permeating your home at all costs.  Sure, safeguarding your home and family from a threat that you can’t see, smell or taste may sound like a tall order.  That’s why it is so important that the right detector is installed in your Belen home.

Here are some FAQs about carbon monoxide poisoning –

1.  What is carbon monoxide?  It is colorless, odorless, and tasteless.

2.  Where does it come from?  Appliances, generators, blocked chimneys, etc.

Staying Wired.

No, this is not an expose’ about John Belushi.  This is about commercial wiring.  One of the first differences between residential and commercial electrical installation has to do with the type of wiring used for each individual building.  In residential homes, the main type of wiring used has a plastic sheathing around the narrow wires.

As it pertains to commercial buildings, the electrical wiring is run in open spaces to allow access, but the wiring is contained in tube-like conduits for protection.  Commercial buildings use three-phase power.  Three-phase power delivers a total of 448 volts which is two legs of 120 volts and a third called a “wild leg” that carries 208 volts.

How to wire a commercial building is a complicated job for a true professional.  The team at Daylight Electric and Appliance of Belen serves all of the residential and commercial wiring needs of the greater Albuquerque area.  When you decide to wire or rewire your business give Daylight Electric and Appliance a call at (505) 864-3980.

Breaker…Breaker 19.

Maybe you are a truck driver on the roads of The Great Southwest and you recognize that call immediately.  This breaker refers to any breaker box in your Belen area home that must be working properly.  We probably don’t need to remind you that adding a new circuit can be a daunting and even dangerous job!

Here are just some of the component parts of your home’s breaker box –

1.  The main lugs…they are always live even when the power is off.

2.  The main plugs…the black ones are always live as well.

3.  The main breaker…always switch it off before removing the panel cover.

4.  The breaker itself…usually a red or black hot wire.

5.  The breaker bus…(stay off the bus).  This distributes power to the individual breakers.

We won’t bore you with more details, except to say that the breaker box that distributes power to your home must be kept in tip-top condition.  For that, you should call on the services of Daylight Electric and Appliance serving the electrical needs of Belen and the greater Albuquerque area.  Just call (505) 864-3980.

Stay Wired My Friends.

It might have been something that Timothy Leary would have said, but in this case it refers to the safety of the wiring in your home.  Outdated, damaged or otherwise poorly installed and maintained wiring is not something to take lightly!  There are hundreds of residential electrical fires in the Albuquerque area each year.

Here are some warning signs that demand your attention –

1.  Has a circuit breaker tripped?

2.  Be on the lookout for flickering lights.

3.  Look for any wiring that may be frayed or chewed.

4.  Search for any discoloration caused by smoke.

5.  Use your nose.  Sniff for odors of burning.

If any or all of these are prevalent in your home immediately reach for the phone and save the day!  Call Daylight Electric and Appliance Belen’s one of the Albuquerque area’s top home and office electrician.  They will come in and troubleshoot as well as repair your electrical problem giving you peace of mind again.  Call Daylight Electric and Appliance at (505) 864-3980.
