Being the owner of a plant is a big responsibility and it is very important to keep your equipment in working condition. You need to remember that all your maintenance must be planned in an efficient way for both economic and energy efficiency.

Usually when you choose to partake in your routine maintenance, it may cause a delay in your production resulting in loss of income. All safety electrical equipment that is used on a continuous basis will require a lot more maintenance than your equipment that is used rarely, although they will still need to be maintained.

Even though you may maintain your equipment on a regular basis there will be times that your equipment could break. You will then need to take all costs into consideration before deciding whether you should repair the equipment or to just replace it completely.

To help you decide, you should analyze what you have already spent on the equipment as well as what it will cost to maintain it in the future. Once you have done that you should compare it to what it would cost you to acquire newer equipment that may cost less to maintain.

You could also hire a specialist that could create a breakdown of important factors such as the probability of the following:

To run a successful plant you will also need to keep the following important steps in mind:

Adequate surge protection does not begin and end with point-of-use power strips. Multiple layers of protection are necessary to safeguard your sensitive appliances and electronic devices. You’ve invested a great deal of money in them - now you need to protect them.

Whole house surge protection, installed between street power lines and your home, or between your meter and breaker box, offer your appliances the protection they need against today’s common but unexpected spikes and surges. Diverting excess power to ground, these devices protect both your electronics and your wallet from the dangers of spikes and surges that could leave you with smoking gear and a hefty replacement bill.

Because a whole house surge protector cannot handle 100 percent of surges, you need backup. That’s where point-of-use surge protection devices with power conditioners come in. Installed at individual outlets in your home, these devices also shed excess voltage through ground in the event a spike or surge overcomes your whole house surge protector. They also have the added benefit of noise filtering. There are two types: less expensive models that are destroyed internally – but preserve your gear – in the event of a surge, and more expensive models that can handle all but the most extreme surges without destruction.

Have you ever been watching TV or listening to the radio when someone in an adjacent room operates a blender or vacuum? Oftentimes the result will be static on your TV or an annoying buzz emitting from speakers courtesy of “noise” transmitted through the electrical lines in your home. That’s where a power conditioner comes in.

Those cheap $20 power strips from your local retail store are not the same as a surge protector with a power conditioner. While cheaper, this is definitely an instance where you get what you pay for - a couple extra outlets and some minor surge protection. In the event of a major event, however, they can fail your appliances and sometimes catch fire. Premium, point-of-use surge protection with power conditioning not only adequately protects your appliances from surges, but also:

You have heard all about the benefits of a ceiling fan. They save money on your monthly electric bill throughout the year. During the winter, the warm air is stirred around the room instead of sitting near the ceiling. In the summer, the fan keeps the air moving and creates a cool breeze. Now that you are ready to take the plunge and buy your own ceiling fan, you are going to need an electrician in Pasadena to help you. Fortunately, you can count on The Electric Connection to get the job done for you in a professional, timely manner.

When you head to the home improvement store, you need to be prepared to sort through upwards of a hundred different fans in varying sizes, colors and designs. First of all, you will want to narrow the fans down by the size of the room the fan will be hung in. Fans will be labeled with the appropriate room size. Small bedroom fans will have short blades, while larger fans designed for the living room will have longer blades.

The height of your ceiling will also influence the fan you buy. If you have cathedral ceilings, a simple fan pull will not work. You will want a fan that includes a remote or that has the capability to have a remote adapted to it. You will also need to determine if you want lights with your fan. It is a very common accessory for ceiling fans. In fact, fans are often placed in position where the light would be located in the room. Lastly, and probably the easiest decision, is choosing the color of your fan. There are plenty of colors and wood stains available.

Once you have your ceiling fan picked out, call an electrician familiar with Pasadena electrical codes to have it installed. Give The Electric Connection a call today and start enjoying your ceiling fan this summer.
