Maintaining your electrical system is an important aspect of home ownership.
Your home’s electrical system is simultaneously one of the most useful and potentially dangerous systems you encounter in your everyday life, so it’s important to know how to properly and safely make use of its components. To ensure your electrical system functions as efficiently as possible, consider the following tips:
Know how your outlets are wired.
Understanding a little more about the outlets in your home can help you use them safely, conserve energy and troubleshoot potential problems. Most modern outlets come in pairs (known as a “duplex receptacle”) and are generally rated at 15 or 20 amps and 120 volts. It’s important to know your outlet’s rating: If you have to replace a receptacle, you should always install an exact duplicate.
Understand fuses.
Fuses are safety measures designed to keep devices and appliances from drawing too much current from your electrical system, which can create a dangerous situation. When the current flowing through a fuse is greater than it was designed to withstand, the metal melts, interrupts the circuit and stops the flow of electricity. In this way, it acts like a kill switch. When a fuse blows, it needs to be replaced. For the sake of safety and proper functioning of your electrical system, always use an identical replacement for the blown fuse. The three basic types of fuses are plug, time-delay and cartridge. The wrong type won’t fit in place of the old fuse, but you also have to pay attention to the amp rating of the fuse being replaced. Never replace a fuse with one that bears a higher amp rating.
Conserve electricity.
Routinely maintaining your appliances can go a long way toward reducing the amount of energy your family uses on a daily basis. For example, any device involved in the heating, cooling and ventilation of your home should be kept clean and in good repair. Make sure to regularly clean and replace heater and air conditioner filters. Keep the furnace room free of debris that can be sucked up into the fan. Clean ventilation ducts consistently to prevent them from becoming clogged. You can do a lot of these smaller tasks yourself, but you should always call a professional for larger maintenance tasks. The upfront expense may give you pause, but consider it an investment in your home and lowering your energy bills. You should also have your electrical system inspected on a regular basis so potential issues can be stopped before they become problematic.
Few electrical contractors earn the prestigious Diamond Certified award, which means they've been independently rated Highest in Quality. Even fewer can also claim more than 30 years of industry experience and family members running key positions within the company, but that's exactly the case for Reyff Electric, Inc.
Reyff Electric provides a full range of electrical services for residential, industrial and commercial clients in Marin, Sonoma, Solano and Napa Counties. For residential customers, the company installs electrical systems in new homes; maintains and upgrades existing electrical systems; sets up spas and hot tubs; upgrades panels and breakers; and installs attics, exhaust fans, motion detectors, flood lighting and more. On the commercial side, Reyff Electric offers its services to a wide variety of businesses and has developed a particular expertise for working on restaurant electrical systems. It also uses a boom truck to install and maintain parking lot lighting and exterior signs.
Unlike electrical contractors that emphasize the importance of workload volume over customer interaction, Reyff Electric believes in providing a personal touch on each of its jobs. "It's common for our technicians to give their personal phone numbers to customers in case they have any questions or problems," says Sales Executive Dustin Reyff. "Our goal is to be as responsive as possible and get the job done right the first time. If we can work through a problem on the phone and save the customer a service call, we'll do it."
Another distinguishing feature of Reyff Electric is its highly experienced field technicians, all of whom are either certified journeymen electricians or training to achieve that distinction. "Our technicians work in teams so they can check each other's work and get the job done faster," explains Mr. Reyff. "We evaluate them at least once a year to ensure their work meets our high standards. Their professionalism and dedication has been a big part of our success."
