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.

Modular Wiring Devices Make Upgrades a Snap
It used to be that electrical receptacles and switches were lifetime
devices. They’d be installed when a house was constructed and remain in
place indefinitely, unless they failed or the house was remodeled. Then,
likely, the devices were replaced with an updated version of the same
product, which in turn stayed in place for decades.

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.

ability to produce and ship their products.

follow the National Electrical Code for number and placement. When
designing my own home office, I went the extra measure to include
dedicated outlets for my computer and UPS back up.
