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.

LED Upgrades – Fixture Retrofit or Replacement?
One of my favorite topics to talk or write about is LED lighting and
lighting accessories. I’m a big fan of those little light-emitting
diodes. Even in the early days, when prices were high and options pretty
much non-existent, the technology intrigued me.

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.

Cable and Conductor Management: Wiring Troughs and More
There have been many times when I was elbows deep in a wiring trough or
raceway. We sometimes called the smaller units gutters, but all were
raceways and wiring troughs.
