60w Bright Idea …

In the past month, I’ve been called out to investigate several trouble shoots that resulted in bulb πŸ’‘ replacement 😳… I wish that I could say that I’m surprised, but I’ll never under estimate people’s laziness… What could’ve been a $5 investment for the customer, ultimately turned into a $75 service call. As a professional, I cannot afford to come out and investigate for free, and I can only do but so many favors. That being said, do yourself a favor and try replacing your light bulbs πŸ’‘ before calling an Electrician. As a home owner or tenant, you should keep extra light bulbs, and only use the appropriate wattage of bulb for the fixture in use per the manufacturers specifications. If the fixtures call for 60 watt light bulbs, then use 60 watt bulbs. Never use a higher wattage bulb in an attempt to achieve more illumination. Over lamping can occur and result in a house fire. All in all, if you ever feel unsure about any issues that may arise, contact a Qualified Electrician, to remedy your situation… ⚑

I began my career in electricity in 2005 when I roped my first house alone ,just off of basic instruction. It was then that I knew exactly what I wanted to do professionally. Shortly after I enrolled myself into Orleans Technical Institute in Philadelphia , where I studied Ohms Law , electrical theory just to name a few. I began my apprenticeship working under Master Electricians Allan Carroll and Willis Harrison of A/C Services in Philadelphia. I spent years under they're supervision running circuitry for residential and commercial properties in and around the Philadelphia , Pennsylvania. My thirst for knowledge and understanding is what continues to drive me to this day. I've successfully acquired my Master Electricians License ,and have legitimized my status within the industry. I've been privileged to work all around the country and yet I am but a student of life because, there's so much more to learn. My purpose for this blog site is to help usher the advancement of future electricians because it's pretty tuff when you're just starting out , and there isn't many available avenues that offer a solid education or decent information. It is my mission to display valuable information for higher learning , trade secrets and our industries cutting edge tools.
