Inspection is performed after job completion, and a certificate issued to confirm that the wiring meets all the regulatory and operational requirements. Building wiring will only pass when properly done. This includes items like adequate grounding, no short circuits, overloaded circuits, or ground faults.

If parts of the wiring do not function during the tests, these issues must be rectified before the utility company will connect their supply.

Once operational, it is necessary to carry out regular inspections to identify and repair potential or existing problems. Residential home wiring requires a comprehensive inspection every 10 years.

Love is in the air, which has gotten me to thinking about lighting. (Come to think of it, what time of year doesn’t do that?) If Valentine’s Day always gives you a hankering to pop Gone With the Wind or your favorite rom-com into the DVD player, have you ever thought about what goes into making those romantic films?

Color temperature is one of the first things to note when studying the lighting in a romantic scene. Is it orange? Bluish? White? Most often, warm colors add to an inviting, romantic atmosphere. For example, the warm light in this sunset scene in Titanic draws the audience in, unlike the cold, blue lighting later in  the movie, after things get dire.

2. Brightness (and Shadow)

You can judge the quality of light in a film scene through the hardness or softness of its shadows. Hard quality light has dark shadows with sharp edges, and often feels more raw than soft quality light. Soft lighting, often used in older films, has lighter, diffused shadows and tends to feel more sentimental. If you’ve seen Casablanca, you know what I mean.

Of course, there are always exceptions to these rules.

Cool lighting can still be quite romantic in the right setting. Like in this still from The Notebook:

And with advances in film technology, sharp shadows can also be quite romantic. Case in point, this still from the end of the 2005 version of Pride and Prejudice:

When taking on a new remodeling project, you’ll have the job of selecting a Pasadena electrician that can take care of the electrical bidding aspect of your project. Of course you’ll want to get the best possible results for the most reasonable amount of money; however, besides the bid estimate for the work to be done, there’s so much more involved when selecting the right electrician.

To make sure that you are making the best choice for your home or business remodeling project, here are some helpful ideas:

1) Decide on exactly what your remodel project will involve, and what type of electrical repairs or installations you’ll need from your electrician in Pasadena. Next, schedule an electrical estimate with a licensed Pasadena electrician.

2) Explain and discuss what you think needs to be done with your electrician and let him know if have any special wiring concerns, and/or if you’d like to provide any of the lighting fixtures yourself. Remember, you can save money by purchasing your electrical fixtures on your own, and this will ensure that you’ll have exactly what you want.

3) Once you receive your bid, make a list of any additional questions you might have about your bid, and ask your electrician to explain the bid to you in detail so that you can have a better understanding of how they arrived at their bid price.

4) Consider the reputation and the range of electrical services of your electrician. Pasadena professional electricians will insist on performing an electrical safety assessment; too, before the job is begun. The Electric Connection can competently take care of this type of electrical assessment for you.
