When you want a relaxing evening after a long day at the office, or when you want to throw a party for your closest friends and family family members, we hope that you’re able to look to your home as a place of safety, comfort, and peace of mind. If you’ve been experiencing electrical troubles, such as tripping breakers, outlets that emit a foul odor, defective lights, or frayed wiring, it’s difficult to love where you live. You can restore the affection you once had for your home by enlisting the help of a licensed professional to complete an electrical safety inspection.

Electrical demands increase during the summer when people combat the heat by running their home air conditioners. Along with homeowners, businesses are also running their heavy-duty air conditioners to protect their equipment and to provide safe working conditions for their employees. This mean, the power grid is put under a great deal of strain. In fact, blackouts are not all that uncommon during peak hours when air conditioners all over the area are working hard to keep us cool.

You can keep cool, even during a blackout by having a generator installed by an electrician in Los Angeles. The Electric Connection has the staff needed to complete a generator installation in a timely, professional manner.

Generators vary in size. You can discuss what size of generator you will need with your electrician. The size you choose will depend greatly on what appliances in your home you want to keep operational. Larger, more powerful generators can easily power your air conditioning unit along with some other key things like your refrigerator and a few lights.

If you are not willing to have your life interrupted in any way during a blackout, you can buy a generator that is large enough to power your entire home as if nothing had changed. Your Los Angeles electrician will complete the install for you and show you the basics of operating the generator.

Fortunately, there is very little you will need to do in the event of a power outage. If it happens while you are at work, you will still get to come home to a cool house. A device measures the power going into the home. As soon as there is an interruption in the power supply, the generator will automatically kick on. A transfer switch automatically switches your home to backup power. This is a required element.

If you are interested in keeping cool this summer with a generator installation, give The Electric Connection a call.
