Staying Wired.

With respect to the late John Belushi this pertains to your Albuquerque area home and its wiring.  Is it safe?  Outdated, damaged or otherwise poorly installed and maintained wiring is not something to take lightly.  There are hundreds of thousands of residential electrical fires nationwide each year.

Here are some preventative procedures –

1.  Watch for frequently tripping circuit breakers.

2.  Look for flickering and dimming lights.

3.  Observe discoloration around the outlets.

4.  You smell burning odors.

Do not hesitate another minute!  If you live in Belen or the greater Albuquerque area call Daylight Electric and Appliance right away.  Justin and his people will come to your home and help you prevent potential disaster by inspecting and properly repairing your faulty wiring.  That’s Daylight Electric and Appliance at (505) 864-3980.

Just Set it Up and Forget About it…Right?

Not when it comes to your home’s water heater.  Water heaters are a much needed and often neglected appliance in today’s Albuquerque area home.  In your home, there are so many uses such as cooking, bathing, cleaning and space heating.  You know all of that, but what you may not know is how often your water heater should be inspected.

It should be mandatory to keep a regular maintenance schedule.  The first check should center around observing the plumbing joints for excessive or unusual corrosion.  This check applies to gas-powered heaters.  All the gas supply parts as well as the water heater should be checked for any flammable material surrounding these parts.

Then there are things such as draining it for sediment build-up and replacing the anode rod every couple of years.  See, there is a lot more to keeping your water heater working at its peak efficiency.  People around Albuquerque have trusted Daylight Electric and Appliance of Belen for water heater repair, replacement, and maintenance.  Keep this number handy (505) 864-3980.

So, You Own a Commercial Building? Lucky you!

You have come to know that carries with it a great deal of responsibility.  Not the least of which is knowing when rewiring is needed long before it actually is.  Do-it-yourself instructional manuals and videos about keeping your building’s electrical works in good condition abound, but nothing beats an expert licensed electrician’s skills when it comes to commercial buildings!

Here are some of the common electrical problems in commercial buildings –

1.  Burnt out bulbs…sounds simple, but a pro will look for a loose circuit.

2.  Flickering lights…that’s not a good look for any business.

3.  Tripping breakers…ignoring this one can result in a destructive fire.

4.  Grounding problems…often caused by unbalanced branch circuits and wired feeders.

5.  Too few outlets…this is a common malady as your business grows.

Keep it simple…a plumber plumbs, a landscaper mows and trims around your property, an electrician takes care of your building’s electrical problems.  If you live in Belen, NM or anywhere in the greater Albuquerque area and you own a commercial building trust Daylight Electric and Appliance for your commercial wiring needs.  Just call (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!

Fish Swim, Airplanes Fly, and Boilers Boil…Right?

No, that’s not the case!  Boilers in operation today do not boil water.  The term “boiler” is an old carryover reference from the past when steam boilers were common.  They boiled water to make steam.  Today’s boilers are water heaters that typically use natural gas.  Most of them can heat water in a range just under 200 degrees at the top end.

What are a few things you should know about your boiler system?

1.  Is your boiler standard-efficiency or high-efficiency?

2.  What kind of radiation does it have?

3.  Who maintains your home’s boiler?

That last one is easy.  If you live in Belen, NM or the greater Albuquerque area the answer should be Daylight Electric and Appliance.  They service and repair boilers and other types of heating systems throughout Central New Mexico.  Trust Daylight Electric and Appliance with the care and maintenance of your boiler by calling (505) 864-3980.
