Two atoms were walking down the street one day, when one of them exclaimed, “Oh no – I’ve lost an electron!” “Are you sure?” the other one asked. “Yes,” replied the first one, “I’m positive.”

I have heard that joke at least ten times and it is still over my head. Maybe it all boils down to the way I view things, usually on a more metaphysical level, or as my sister would say, “out there and far fetched.” I totally understand the idea behind quantum physics; the idea that a researcher’s views and expectations influence the outcome of their experiments makes total sense. It gives those scientists power over what they do. On the other hand, when it comes to comprehending electricity, I just get lost. The subject is so hard to grasp; the only thing I know for sure is that I am very dependent on it. It seems to have all the power, no pun intended. I challenge you to gain better knowledge than I have in the journey that takes you around in a circle between the words electric, electric charge and electricity, each one’s definition leading back to the others.

Thank goodness for those who understand what I don’t. Another subject that seems to be connected to electricity, but don’t ask me to explain, is the internet. All I had to do to find an electrician in Beverly Hills, was search for “electrician Beverly Hills CA” and some sort of “feelers” out there in a hidden territory gave me The Electric Connection. To me it does not seem so far fetched that in a few years I may only have to think “electrician Beverly Hills” and one will show up at my door. Shoot – that was almost what happened, now that I think about it. The only difference was the inclusion of a phone call.

When the Beverly Hills electrician from The Electric Connection finished his work at my home the next day, I knew that he understood this complex subject. He probably gets the internet too. I did not end up with funny shoes or new exercise equipment, but I do have new electrical outlets, two ceiling fans installed and some landscape lighting that I have wanted for ages. This electrician in Beverly Hills even did his best to explain electricity to me, which included what he knew about electric eels. I am sure he noticed the glazed look on my face, but at least he tried.

There is just so much to learn here in one short life, or even in several for that matter. I have learned that we cannot be experts at everything, but we can sure appreciate those who are. I may not know fully understand electricity or cyberspace, but I do know great customer service when I see it, which is exactly what everyone should expect from their local Beverly Hills electrician.

A flood can happen at anytime in your house. It doesn’t always have to come from a river or creek that has burst over it’s bed and turned your neighborhood into a watery community. Heavy rains can be an issue, but if you live near a water source, you are prepared for such eventualities. What you can’t always prepare for are things like burst pipes and water heaters that have failed. If you are not home when either scenario happens, you could walk into a huge disaster. Your first call may be to a water damage specialist and your insurance company, but you also need to call an electrician in Beverly Hills. We all know water and electricity don’t mix! You can rely on the team at The Electric Connection to help you get your home back in order so you can get on with life after a flood, whether it is minor or a big one.

If your home has experienced any kind of water damage, it is crucial to your safety and the overall safety of the home that you have the electrical wiring inspected by an electrician. Beverly Hills homeowners can have water damage happen for a variety of reasons. If your home has been flooded with more than a foot of water and the water has been allowed to soak for more than a few hours, you are probably looking at replacing the wiring in the house. If it was a minor flood with the water only rising a few inches, you will still want to have an electrical inspection to ensure all of the wiring is still in good shape.

When you hear you need to replace wiring, it can be a jaw-dropper. However, keep in mind, the walls will likely need to be torn down and new sheetrock put in due to the water damage. This makes it much easier for your Beverly Hills electrician to complete a rewire and it will be much faster. It is far too risky to assume the wiring was untouched after a flood. Call The Electric Connection today if you need an electrical inspection.

Damaged wiring, DIY repairs and faulty installations are all common electrical mistakes which if not corrected in time can be hazardous and lead to short circuits, injury and electrical fires. If you encounter any of these 7 mistakes in your house, fix them immediately as they pose a serious risk to life and property.
