Whether it’s a small wiring fix or a complete house rewire, at some point in time your home may need some electrical wiring. You might have a small electrical repair that requires rewiring, or maybe you’ve decided to remodel your home and as a result you’ll need to move some of the wiring.

It’s always best to hire a licensed electrician to any type of rewiring, because if you do your own rewiring you run the risk of hurting yourself or creating shorts or electrical safety issues in your home. You could also run the risk of big electric problems later on. A Glendale electrician like Electric Connection can ensure that your wiring is all done correctly and that it will function properly for years to come, giving you the sense of security that you’ll want.

Whether you’re just looking to replace some old wires or completely rewire your home you’ll want to want to make sure it’s done right, and that’s why you should hire a professional instead of doing it yourself. Electric Connection is the licensed electrician Glendale property owners look to for expert home rewiring services.

What better way to celebrate Independence Day than to do so in Virginia, one of the first colonies to create talks of revolution against the British? Virginia had a huge rule in the American Revolution. In fact, our first president of the United States, George Washington, was from Virginia! Thomas Jefferson helped expressed reason for colonial independence from Great Britain by writing the Declaration of Independence. The last major battle of the Revolutionary War was fought in Yorktown, Virginia and that victory led to the end of the war.

Virginians have a lot to be proud about for their involvement in the American Revolution, so you know we love to celebrate July 4th big! Our fireworks are always over-the-top and our parades are the best in the country. If you’re planning to celebrate big this Independence Day, consider these activities to do the weekend of July 4th. Make this Independence Day a day to remember!
