Imagine how relaxing it would be to soak away the day’s stresses or invite friends over for a fun party featuring your own hot tub. Having a hot tub or sauna in your backyard or patio area is a dream of many. These provide a lot of fun as well as stress relief and are more affordable than you may think. However, the idea of installing a hot tub is something you may not be ready to tackle yourself. Even if you are looking to save money, you may find that calling a Burbank electrical service, such as The Electric Connection, is actually the best option. Consider the following before you think about installing a hot tub yourself.

Safety

Even if you are a skilled at home improvement projects, installing a hot tub can be a dangerous activity. This is because installing a hot tub combines water and electricity. You do not want to take the risk of injury to yourself or others by making a mistake in the installation. A licensed electrician in Burbank has the background to make certain he or she is not injured and the electrician should have insurance in case there is an issue.

Equipment Care

In addition to your personal safety, you should also keep in mind properly caring for the equipment during the installation process. In many cases, you will void the warranty on a hot tub or sauna if you do not install it properly. So for this reason, search the internet for electrician Burbank and allow a professional to take care of this job for you.

If you are considering the installation of a hot tub, sauna or backyard water feature, find a Burbank electrician by visiting The Electric Connection’s website at ElectricConnection.com  or calling us and talking to a customer service specialist today.

Interior lighting consists of the lights on the ceilings and walls in all of the rooms in a house, as well as the lamps and other lighting fixtures that you may have in your home. There are many different styles of interior lights to choose from such as track lighting, chandeliers, pendant lighting, recessed lighting, wall sconces and more. Choosing the type and style of lighting that you like best can be difficult, but fun at the same time. As far as the proper placement of your lighting fixtures goes, an Burbank electrician can help you decide what works best.

Chandeliers can be used in any home, but the bigger styles tend to work well in larger homes or rooms with high ceilings. There are many chandelier options that you can choose from in all different shapes, sizes and finishes. Electric Connection is the electrician Burbank homeowners rely on for professional lighting and chandelier installations.

Another style of lighting that’s very common is a ceiling fan with built-in lights.  A support box is required to support the weight of the fan, so if there’s no existing junction box these may require a little more work to install than a chandelier.  With a ceiling fan you have the added benefit, though, of having both the lighting and a fan in one unit.

As we know, most lamps need to be turned on and off at the lamp switch, but a certified electrician from Electric Connection can easily wire your outlets so that you can use your wall switches to turn your lamps on and off instead. This type of set up makes your table lamps even more convenient and easy to use.

Of course, there are even more options for lighting in your house, but you’ll definitely want to consider choosing one or more of the options we’ve mentioned since they’re the most popular. When you’re ready to install or update your home lighting, you can give us a call at Electric Connection.

With summer just around the corner, it is time to start thinking about those weekend barbecues and all the outdoor entertaining you will want to do. Outdoor cooking is a tradition we love and cherish. It is something we will remember fondly for years to come. There is just something exciting and relaxing about eating a meal outdoors with friends and family. What if you could enjoy an outdoor meal all year? Or, what if you, the host, could join in the conversation while preparing a delicious meal for your guests? You can do both with the help of an electrician in Burbank. The Electric Connection can help you achieve your dreams of cooking outdoors in your own outdoor kitchen.

Outdoor kitchens give you the chance to take the party outside while you are cooking a meal. The kitchens can be a barbecue with a single countertop or a full kitchen complete with center islands, a sink and grill suitable for making an entire meal. A roof over the kitchen area protects your equipment. The walls are left open to allow the fresh air to circulate through the room. Some homeowners choose to have screening material installed to reduce the amount of bugs coming to check out the food.

An outdoor fan is also an ideal fixture for your outdoor kitchen. On hot days, a cool breeze will go a long way to keeping you comfortable while you enjoy your outdoor kitchen. The fan also helps cut down on the bug population. A Burbank electrician will work with you to set up your dream kitchen outside. Electrical outlets are a common addition to the kitchens so you can use some of your favorite appliances outdoors as well. If you are ready to take advantage of the beautiful weather, give The Electric Connection a call today and get started on your outdoor kitchen plans.
