Older Commercial Building – If you are interested in purchasing an old building for commercial use or maybe your business is in an old building that needs a serious upgrade, you will need a specialized crew of professionals to make it happen.

For this reason, it is absolutely critical you hire an electrical team that has experience and training to work on commercial projects. A certified electrician on your job ensures everything will be done right and up to code, which means your renovation or upgrade will move along according to your schedule. The team at Ethical Electrical has the commercial experience you want and need.

It is always best to bring the electrician in at the very beginning of a restoration project. This allows the professional to provide valuable insight and input as to where the wiring needs to be as well as the best type of materials to use for a commercial project. Bringing in the certified professional early on also makes the scheduling of the project much easier. You won’t have to worry about down days or redoing certain areas because the wiring wasn’t put in first. The construction team needs to work together and that means everyone needs to be involved from the get go.

The planning phase is an excellent time to discuss all of the commercial lighting options and various upgrades that can be put in place throughout the building. It is important these are thought about beforehand to make sure the project runs smoothly. Projects that are delayed or run into various hiccups can cost more money and end up pushing back opening dates. Give Ethical Electrical a call today and talk with one of our professionals about your commercial building renovation.

I love my new heaters. I should have done this years ago. The installation was done professionally and in the time frame allotted. It was a great experience.

Install GFCI’s

Install GFCI’s – For decades, ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) have saved thousands of lives and have helped significantly reduce the number of home electrocutions by about fifty percent. Every year hundreds of American die due to electrical accidents, caused by electric shock. The GFCI was designed to help prevent these accidents.

GFCI outlets exist to protect people from electrical shock. It is different from a house fuse. The idea of the fuse in a house was designed to protect the structure from an electrical fire. If a hot wire were to accidentally touch the neutral wire for some reason an incredible amount of current will flow through the circuit and start heating it up like one of the coils in a toaster. The fuse heats up faster than the wire and burns out before the wire can start a fire. A catastrophe is averted.

The GFCI is somewhat similar, but the GFCI is integrated into the outlet itself. When you plug in an appliance, such as a hair dryer, the GFCI outlet monitors the amount of power going to the device. If you accidentally drop the appliance into s sink full of water, the GFCI detects the interruption in the current and cuts the power, and this could save your life.

You may ask, how do I know if I have GFCI outlets. When looking at your outlets you will see a Test and a Reset Button, and perhaps a indicator light built into the outlet. Most times you will see only one GFCI outlet per room.

GFCI outlets can go bad or wear out. So you should test them about once a month. To test the outlet, press the Reset Button, and then plug in a simple night light or other electrical device. The device should turn on. Then press the Test button. If the GFCI is working, the power will immediately be cut. Press Reset again, and your device should turn on again. If so the outlet is working as it should.

If you have bad GFCI’s or need new GFCI’s Installed, please give us a call as soon as possible.
