Tip of the Day



Don't Overload Electrical Circuits

If every time you turn on the bedroom lamp and the air conditioner at the same time you fry a fuse or pop a breaker, your house is trying to tell you something. And that is "don't overload circuits over and over and over again." Doing so _ slowly, but surely _ will fatigue the wire inside the wall. You might eventually end up with a dangerous condition. Find out how many watts each of your circuits will hold and don't exceed the limit. Following this simple rule will add longevity to your electrical system and create safer conditions for you and yours. And that's the On The House tip for today.
