A Ceiling Fan Will Save You Money on Electricity

Monday, March 21st, 2022

Spring is here and it’s time to start planning ahead! We know that summer is right around the corner and at the rate things are moving, it’ll be here before we know it! So, in light of this news, we need to start planning how much electricity we’re going to be using.

Electricity is the most important energy source in the summer because it’s what our air conditioners and other appliances use. Sure, some homeowners might have gas appliances like stovetops, but those use a fraction of the energy that an HVAC system does.

This blog post is dedicated to one appliance in particular that we know will be able to help you lower your energy bills this summer, and that’s a ceiling fan. Down below, we’ve input some reasons why a ceiling fan is such a good investment. All you need to do is call our professional electricians in Slidell, LA for support!

3 Reasons to Avoid DIY Electrical Work

Monday, September 6th, 2021

There are probably a million reasons to avoid trying to repair your electrical system yourself. In this blog, we’d like to focus on three really good reasons why homeowners should stay far away from picking up their toolbox and opening up their electrical panel at home.

While some of this might sound straightforward or obvious, the truth is that homeowners often try to do something that’s a little outside of their wheelhouse for a variety of reasons. DIY repairs are cheaper, they don’t require any training or certification, and the internet houses a great library of tutorials and videos on the work you’re doing. All of this sounds nice, but it’s not going to end up the way you want.

As Slidell, LA electricians, we’re going to cover why DIY repairs are not all they seem to be, and why they might end up costing you more money down the line.

5 Reasons to Always Choose a Professional Electrician

Monday, July 26th, 2021

Sometimes it can be invigorating to look up DIY tutorials online and start investing in the longevity of your home’s electrical system. There’s a lot to learn and, if you’re exceptionally talented, you might become an electrician yourself someday!

For now, the most important thing to remember is that not all DIY work is the same. Hammering a few nails and painting a wall is not much compared to the complete overhaul or fixing of a home’s electrical system. Electrical technology, especially ones hooked up to the power grid, can be dangerous to work on unless you’re a certified professional.

Today, we’re going to talk about how you should always call for Slidell electricians that know what they’re doing. Nope, not sometimes, not most of the time, always. There are serious risks involved with doing this work yourself, and it’s time you knew about them.

3 Problems Winter Could’ve Caused to Your AC

Monday, April 19th, 2021

AC condenser unit — An air conditioner unit outside a brick home in a residential neighborhood. The air conditioner is in a back yard in the hot summer season. Service industry, working class.

It might not seem like it, but winter took a long time. We’re enjoying living in the moment, as temperatures start to warm up and the flowers begin to bloom. But let’s not forget the harsh winter temperatures, the problems we had with indoor air quality, and everything else that occurred this winter.

Sometimes homeowners forget that their air conditioners were sitting in the garage, basement, or crawlspace for the whole winter. Likewise, they believe their system will just magically turn on the way it did months ago, like nothing has changed. While we wish this were the case, some AC systems require air conditioning repair in Slidell, LA or some kind of maintenance because of the wintertime wear and tear.

Let’s talk about a few problems that the stale, winter air could have cause your AC system and what you can do to mitigate the damage.
