Many people don’t even think twice about the fan in the bathroom. It seems like a standard fixture that should be a part of every home. When it isn’t, it is seen as more of an inconvenience than a necessity. The fan isn’t just for looks or an accessory. It is a vital piece of equipment that can keep your home safe from the damages of mold and mildew. If you don’t currently have a working fan in the bathroom, it is an easy fix with the help of an electrician. Burbank homeowners can call The Electric Connection to set up a bath fan installation.

Bath fans are not what they used to be. They are elaborate additions to a modern bathroom. Many include heat lamps that help replace the warm, moist air they are removing from the room. The fans are very quiet and are available in different speeds, depending on how big the room is. You can buy a fan at almost any home improvement store. An electrician in Burbank suggests you do some investigating to find the best fan for your bathroom. They are relatively inexpensive, which is pretty amazing considering how much money they can save you on repair costs from moisture damage.

A fan is a key component in your home. Each time you shower in the bathroom, you are putting a great deal of moisture in the air. This moisture clings to the ceiling, the floor and even the drywall. Your Burbank electrician explains that this repeated exposure to moisture can result in mildew and mold. Most people know mold is extremely dangerous and can end up costing thousands of dollars in remediation costs. Don’t let your home go another day without proper ventilation. Call The Electric Connection today and schedule your bath fan installation.

Most people have dealt with a power cut at some time or the other. There could be a very bad storm or lightning could strike and the power could get cut; but it also returns quite quickly. However, you might switch on the computer and notice it has stopped working.

This is caused when lightning hits a power line which results in a sudden surge on the electrical pressure that overloads the electronic circuitry. It’s true that lightning strikes cause power surges; even everyday appliances in our homes can cause power surges every time they are switched.

Over time, these seemingly small surges can cause a lot of damage to your property; and they slowly reduce the lifespan of your refrigerator, computer or air-conditioner or any other appliance that’s plugged into a power outlet or any that’s been hardwired into the electrical system in your home. The one way to protect your property from damage is to learn more about what power surges are.

Across Australia, the basic electrical voltage for residences is 230V + 10% up to – 6%. The load vibrations are taken into account in this particular range, as the appliances quickly cut in & out. In case the voltage increases above the working range of the appliance, it can result in arcing in the appliance.

These arcs generate heat, and these results in damage to the electrical components within the appliance. This type of damage is cumulative and the appliances are still able to function normally, till the point the damage becomes so excessive that your PC or TV just stops working for no apparent reason.

For all plug-and-play appliances like your TV and PC, you can connect them to a point-of-surge protector, and that becomes a very easy solution. This particular system is very much like a standard power board. You simply have to plug in the appliances that have to be protected, into the device. This device doesn’t suppress/arrest the surge; it redirects that surge straight into the ground. If you have to protect only a single appliance and a point-of-use protector doesn’t fit, then it’s possible to get a special outlet with the built-in protection installed.

Even as the point-of-use devices protect various appliances which are typically plugged into any power outlet, you would have to get another device to protect those items which are hardwired into the electrical system of your home, including the lights and air-conditioners. These devices can be easily complemented by an electrical panel surge protector.

If it’s installed inside the mains, it will level out the fluctuations and power spikes; or it might also stop them well before they reach the devices. When a mix of electrical panel surge protection and point of use protection are used, it helps provide your equipment and devices from very powerful voltage spikes.
