The next time you call your local residential electrician to come fix any electrical problems you have in your home, you may want to ask him or her about outdoor lighting. According to the American Lighting Association, exterior lighting can not only enhance the beauty of a home,  it can also provide safety and security. Here are some things to keep in mind if you're considering installing outdoor lighting.

Call a professional

Electrical work can be tricky and dangerous. Don't embark on a lighting project without the help of a professional. Ask a qualified electrician to do an assessment of your home at night. An expert will be able to pinpoint the darkest spots around your home and explain how you should light them.

Focus on the front door

One place you'll want to install outdoor lighting is your front door. Not only will this help you and your family at night, it will also allow you to clearly see anyone who rings your bell in the evening.

Illuminate your walkway

Consider illuminating the path leading up to the door to protect your guests (or family) from tripping as they walk to and from your home in the evening.

Get a timer

Talk to your electrician about having a timer installed to control your outdoor lights. This will ensure that if you come home late from work, your lights will be on and waiting for you. You can also use a timer to turn the lights on and off to give the impression of an occupied home when you’re away on vacation.

Consider lights in the pool

If you own a pool, talk to an electrician about installing lights inside it. This will help keep your loved ones safe during nighttime swims. Also, if you have a fountain, you may want to illuminate it as well to better show it off during the evening.

Light up your deck

Lighting your deck or porch will extend the hours you can spend there and create another option for entertaining guests.

For most of us in the Boston, MA area, summer cannot get here fast enough. This past winter was, to put it mildly, a doozy. Even so, the snow is melting off and the sun feels warmer with each passing day. Before long summer will truly be upon us, in all its glory. Enticing a notion as this may be, you must also keep in mind the fact that our summer weather can easily bring with it some discomfort of its own. If you’ve been thinking about replacing your old, worn out air conditioning system, then now is the time to do it. Contact FB Electrical Services today to schedule your air conditioning replacement with a qualified professional. 

Choosing to invest one’s hard-earned money in a new air conditioning system may not be the most exciting decision to make. However, you must keep in mind just how much your comfort, and that of your family, is worth to you. Replacing an air conditioner may be just what you need to keep cool during the worst of the summer season, and there are many benefits to be had.

One reason many homeowners consider replacing their air conditioner is if it is costing too much to operate. This is a great way in which to motivate oneself into replacing his or her air conditioning system. While the initial cost of an air conditioning replacement may be considerable, the years or operation ahead, at better efficiency levels, can help to offset the sting of that initial expense. Whether your system is just old and tired, or if it was simply not manufactured to operate at the level of efficiency we expect today, a replacement air conditioner is a wonderful way in which to start anew.

It is also possible that you inherited your air conditioning system with your home, and that it may not suit your usage habits or personal preferences ideally. If you are not able to control your system and to cool your home according to your desires, then you are not much better off than you’d be with an old, inefficient system. There are a lot of air conditioning options out there today, and we’re just the experts you need to help you find the right one yourself.

Regardless of your reasons for considering an air conditioning replacement, one thing is certain; it is best not to wait for your system to break down entirely before replacing it. This can seriously put your comfort in jeopardy, especially with summer on its way. Call FB Electrical Services if you are interested in learning more about your AC replacement options.

Question: A contractor wants me to sign a Partial Release form on a job he hasn’t paid me for yet. Doesn’t that put me at risk of not collecting the money if I’m not really paid after I sign the release form? – Greg Storn

Answer: The good news here is that there is an easy solution to this issue. There are four different legal documents that apply to contracted work: 4. Unconditional Release Upon Final Payment

The only “condition” of a Conditional Release is that the release is valid only if the money specified on the release is paid to the contractor. In other words, if you are 50% complete with a $10,000 job, you can safely sign a Conditional Release Upon Progress Payment for $5,000. If you aren’t paid the $5,000, the release is not valid and you have not given up any of your lien rights to this money.

On the other hand, if you sign and Unconditional Release, you have just given up your rights to whatever amount of money that was on the Unconditional Release from. So the rule is, don’t sigh an Unconditional Release from until the money you are releasing is in your bank account. I’m not talking about a check in your hand, either. I’m saying that you should never sign an unconditional release until that check has cleared and the funds are literally in your bank account.

Some or my company’s corporate clients always ask for a release before they will pay an invoice. No problem, we just send them a Conditional Release Upon Progress Payment or a Conditional Release Upon Final Payment. Later, after their check has cleared into our bank account, we will (if they ask) follow up with an Unconditional Release.

By the way, Conditional Release forms protect both the client and the contractor. If a client gets a Conditional Release form a contractor, they know that they are protected from getting a lien from that contractor, but only if they actually pay the contractor the money specified on the lien.
