Wax or Polymer – Understanding the Options with Cable Lubricants
Wire and cable pulling can be strenuous work, especially when distances
stretch several floors or more. Lubricants are an important part of this
process – they help reduce friction between cables and conduit, which,
in turn, reduces the risk of damage, wear and tear on cable insulators.

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.

How to Melt Away Your Snow-Shoveling Chores
With winter now in force, the snow shovel and bag of ice-melting pellets
have returned like migrating songbirds to their seasonal perches on my
back deck. I live in a part of southeast New England that doesn’t get a
lot of snow, on average, but is also quite capable of getting buried if a
nor’easter follows just the right track up the coast.

Fun fact. Light travels at approximately 186,000 miles per second. Whoosh.
That’s kind of fast, right? Faster than my old Ford pickup, anyway.

Mind the Gap: Air-Sealing Options for Exterior Wall Outlets
Residential energy use today accounts for about 20% of U.S. greenhouse
gas emissions – though this figure varies widely by region and income
level. Certainly, getting more of our energy from renewable resources
can help reduce those emissions, but we also need to limit overall
energy demand in order to meet the emissions cuts necessary to blunt
climate change’s worst effects.
