Hands-free Pulling: Taking the Strain and Stress Out of Cable Installs
Running new services or upgrading existing ones can be difficult, even dangerous work. Installing the conduit, junction boxes and other related fittings is no walk in the park. From hanging strut to making bends to getting everything to fit together, the entire process can be backbreaking work. And with larger services … the hard work seems to increase exponentially.

Jobsite, Farm, or Cabin in the Woods: Portable Power-to-Go is a Must
Mobility and portability is a necessity today. As an electrician, you know that. When I was an electrical troubleshooter and installer, I was often on location before the power was installed … or when it was down. That meant I needed to either pack a long extension cord, run a gas generator, or use battery-powered tools and lights.

Look Ma – No Wires!
Outdoor lighting serves so many purposes, from basic safety to
wayfinding and illuminating advertising signage. But getting these
fixtures installed can be expensive and involve trenching through
existing concrete, asphalt and landscaping to get wiring into place.

LED Lighting Has Come a Long Way
Last night we sat outside in our big side yard. The moon was full, the
air was cool, and a slight breeze tussled Mary’s hair. Sipping on a cup
of coffee, I watched the flickering orange flames of the Tiki torches in
the beautiful flower garden our daughter had planted for us. Their warm
glow soothed my mind.

Water Heater Timer Switches Can Help Throw Cold Water on Rising Electricity Bills
If I were to ask you which home appliance uses the most electricity, you
might turn first to the refrigerator (after the central air
conditioning unit, that is). Ten or so years ago, you might have been
right, but improved energy efficiency standards have bumped
refrigerators down a notch in a home’s electricity usage.

New Construction Lighting Allows Contractors to String it Along
Location lighting is a critical component in ensuring construction
safety, but when a job is under construction, permanent, installed
fixtures often aren’t available. So, contractors turn to temporary
lighting options. While stand-mounted fixtures can help in individual
rooms, string lights are a go-to for larger areas.
