If you have recently moved into a home and have plans to put your personal touch on it, you are probably considering some renovations. Other reasons to renovate include accommodating a growing family or transforming the family home into one that is more of a retirement home. Maybe your home is old and you want to upgrade it to feel a little better or you are preparing to sell. No matter what your reasons for renovating may be, you will need an electrician in Glendale to help you make it possible. The team at The Electric Connection can assist you in making those renovation dreams a reality.

There are many different ways to renovate a home. Some are a little more labor intensive than others. A renovation may be something as simple as transforming a bedroom into an office. This would only require a Glendale electrician to do some minor changes to the wiring, including bringing in data lines and more outlets for equipment. Maybe you are making an office space into a bedroom and want to change out the fixtures to be a little more suitable for a bedroom. This is a quick fix that can be achieved in a single day when you rely on a certified electrician.

If you are going big and adding a new room or knocking out walls to make a space bigger, you will definitely need the services of an electrician. Glendale homeowners should always leave wiring issues to the professionals. An electrician can ensure the wiring is removed safely and new wiring is installed to compensate if needed. Kitchen upgrades are also going to run into some wiring issues, especially if you are adding more appliances or moving existing appliances. Give The Electric Connection a call today and set up your appointment to talk about your renovation plans.

For anyone who is in control, manages, or even owns a facility that has a parking lot for either employees, customers and clients, or both; you know that security and protection of everyone is paramount.

With outdated, inefficient, and low quality output per watt, which is all that matters when it comes to getting the most efficient lighting. The reasons behind this is because let’s say you have two different LEDs products, one outputs 135 lumens per watt while the other is at 120 lumens / watt. To power a light that outputs at 18,000 lumens; the 120 lumen per watt fixture will take 150 watts to reach 18,000 total lumens. While the 135 lumen per watt fixture will only require approximately 133 watts to generate same exact amount of light that the other higher watt fixture products.

See the important of lumens per watt? It’s everything, and we believe

Here’s another project of ours where we retrofitted an existing fixture in a parking lot (before and after):

The image list could go on, but the gist is this: LED has and will always improve your facility’s lot. Just look at the images yourself for the proof!

 

By choosing LED parking lot products for your facility, you are choosing higher quality along with higher efficiency products. LEDs (more specifically MyLEDLightingGuide’s) offer a better Color Rendering Index rating talked about before is about lumen depreciation. Metal halide and HPS experience greater and quicker depreciation in lumen output than any LED product does. So while a brand new and freshly installed metal halide fixture may look the same as an LED to start off its life; give it a few years and watch the difference. LED is almost guaranteed to be brighter for longer.

 

On the topic of saving money, how about the final benefit that will make you fall in love with LED technology and what it can do for your business.

 

While you need to be careful which LED products you purchase and from where you buy them from; commercial LEDs are just as open to rebates as any other.

Something called DesignLights Consortium (DLC for short) qualifies products and lists them on their site if they pass vigorous tests set by them. They offer two types of listing: commercial rebates but they also prove to be lesser of quality. Think; if a company offers quality lights what’s their reason not to get qualified? There isn’t, and that’s exactly our point.

Thankfully there are many DLC qualified products out their on the market, including ours. You can always take a look around just to say hi!
