Jon from A-Luminanation Electric did an outstanding job installing a new 50 watt RV wall plug on the sid of the house. He was quick and extremely kind when he talked. The job was completed in a professional manner and looks great. Thanks for the install!!

Questions & Answers

What does “grounding” mean?

A-Lumination Electric | Apr 25, 2022
A-Lumination Electric | Apr 25, 2022

When you use an electrical appliance, the current flows from your service panel to the device. A grounded wire gives the unused electrical current a safe way back to the service panel so there’s no danger in the event of a short circuit.

What is a GFCI?

A-Lumination Electric | Apr 25, 2022
A-Lumination Electric | Apr 25, 2022

You may have seen an electrical outlet with a “test” and “reset” button in the middle – this is a GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter). It automatically shuts off an electrical circuit when it detects that the current isn’t flowing correctly. It’s also used to reduce the risk of electrical shock from a receptacle located in damp locations and/or counter top areas

What are low-voltage fixtures?

A-Lumination Electric | Apr 25, 2022

Low-voltage fixtures include a transformer to reduce voltage (say from 120 volts to 12 volts). The downside to low-voltage fixtures, however, can be higher installation costs. Also, transformers tend to create heat and mounting locations can be tricky.

Are LED lights better than incandescent?

A-Lumination Electric | Apr 25, 2022
A-Lumination Electric | Apr 25, 2022

LED lights are more expensive to purchase than incandescent lights, but they’re more efficient (they’ll last 50,000 hours instead of 1,200 hours). They also have a lower annual operating cost, which is great for people trying to “go green.”

What’s the difference between a blown fuse and a blown circuit breaker?

A-Lumination Electric | Apr 25, 2022
A-Lumination Electric | Apr 25, 2022

When the electrical current that passes through a fuse exceeds the limit, it burns a hole in the thin strip of metal. This stops the flow of current and it means you have a blown a fuse. Fuses need to be replaced (not reset). When the electrical current exceeds the limit through a circuit breaker, however, the breaker trip setting opens to stop the flow of current. Breakers are re-settable by flipping the handle on the face of the breaker.

What should I do if an appliance continuously blows a fuse?

A-Lumination Electric | Apr 25, 2022
A-Lumination Electric | Apr 25, 2022

First, make sure there are not too many appliances plugged into one circuit, as this can overload it. If it’s just one appliance, unplug it and either replace it or call us to repair it. You could also try connecting another appliance to the problematic receptacle. If it still shows signs of trouble, have the receptacle and or the circuit checked by our home electrical service experts

What’s the difference between a three-pronged plug and a two-pronged plug?

A-Lumination Electric | Apr 25, 2022
A-Lumination Electric | Apr 25, 2022

The third prong on a plug is a grounding prong. Two-prong receptacles do not have the same level of grounding as a three-prong device. The third grounding prong provides additional protection to the electrical system, the item plugged in, and you from electrical shock.

Why Is My Light Switch Hot?

A-Lumination Electric | Apr 25, 2022
A-Lumination Electric | Apr 25, 2022

When you reach to your light switch to turn it off, only to find that it is hot to the touch, you have a problem. This is not a normal phenomenon, and it indicates that there are serious issues hiding behind your walls. If you don't get help right away, you could end up facing a serious electrical fire in your home.

What Is a Surge Protector, and Do I Need One?

A-Lumination Electric | Apr 25, 2022
A-Lumination Electric | Apr 25, 2022

A surge protector is a piece of equipment that suppresses the excess voltage in your system to prevent it from causing harm to your appliances and devices. You should get some to protect your appliances and devices from power surges.

What are arc fault breakers and why do I need them?

A-Lumination Electric | Apr 25, 2022
A-Lumination Electric | Apr 25, 2022

Several years ago, the code was updated and it requires us to install arc fault breakers in the house wherever there are new lines being installed except for where GFCI devices are required (kitchens and bathrooms, etc.). This is a major breakthrough in our industry. This is one of the most intelligent breakers. They monitor the current and discriminate between normal and unwanted arcing conditions. Arc fault breakers are primarily designed to protect against electrical fires caused by arcing.
