LED Work Lighting Helps Contractors Get the Job Done
It truly amazes me how LEDs have transformed the lighting industry in
just a decade. In 2012, manufacturers introduced the first bulbs to
match the output of a standard 60W incandescent. They weren’t dimmable
and could cost $25 or more. Fast forward to 2023, and LEDs now dominate
the lighting market, and inexpensive replacement lamps can cost less
than $5 and last 10-20 years.

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.

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.

Save Money, Energy, and Maintenance Time with LED Luminaires
I was talking to my brother, Mark, on the phone last night. We’d been
trying to connect all week and finally got the chance. I’m in Arkansas
and he’s in Arizona, so the time difference can be a pain.
We just missed each other the day before because he was over with the neighbors across the street.

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.
