NetPricer Emerges as a Net/Net Victory for Contractors and Distributors
Living in a semi-rural location where the closes mall is a half-hour
drive away – and is often lacking in choice – I end up doing a lot of
shopping online, and some recent statistics prove I’m not alone. In
2023, on Cyber Monday, alone, U.S. consumers spent $12 billion on their
holiday shopping, making Monday, Nov. 27, 2023, the biggest online
shopping day in U.S. history.

Prefabrication Adds Power to Electrical Contractors’ Installation Work
Electrical contracting is, by its nature, a bespoke profession – that
is, every installation features its own unique design quirks requiring
customization. At the same time, though, contractors also now are often
dealing with the need to do more with fewer workers. As a result,
prefabrication is becoming a bigger part of many companies’ operations.

TV Boxes and Other Specialty Products
There’s no getting around it. A lot of people spent a lot more time in
their homes the past few years. And while some of it was by choice, not
all of it was.
I retired from electrical work and work my copywriting business totally from home now.
That was a choice.

Bonding vs. Grounding: A Primer
Bonding and grounding are simple concepts, but, unfortunately, they’re
also easily confused with each other. Definitions of one term often get
wrapped up in the definitions of the other, and, before long, one can
begin thinking the words are interchangeable.
“Grounding” refers to the creation of a path from electrical equipment
to the earth. It is intended to protect equipment and help prevent fires
that might occur due to high voltages resulting from lightning strikes,
line surges or unintended contact with higher-voltage lines.
