What To Do When a Fuse Blows?

What To Do When a Fuse Blows_

The electrical system of every home includes either circuit breakers or (mostly in older buildings) fuses. The frequent blowing of the fuse is something that we do not want to deal with every day. Sudden switching off of all electrical devices and the inability to turn them on ruins our daily schedule, prevents us from relaxing, and nowadays even makes it impossible for us to do any work. If the whole house, apartment or only one of the rooms suddenly go dead – a fuse has probably blown. Unfortunately, this means an overload somewhere, the overheating of the circuit panel or any outlets or switches, or failure of one of the devices connected to the installation.

When looking for advice on the frequent breaking of fuses on the Internet, you may encounter a lot of tips, mainly concerning the technical operation of fuses or circuit breakers. This time let’s start differently. Let’s find out how the fuses work and what they’re actually for.

How Do Fuses Work?

Fuses are essentially fire breaks, or points of deliberate weakness, that collapse if power surges to prevent damage or fire. They are usually grouped in a box or on a panel with a cover – called a fuse box. They are one of the basic security features of the electrical installation of every building and protect your network against overload and overheating. So what does it actually mean when we say “the fuses have blown”? When fuses blow they’re simply executing their protective plan B—they force all the fuses to shut down to avoid circuit damage. When the meter uses more power than your installation has been adapted for – fuses instantly cut off the power supply. Unfortunately, there are many reasons why the fuses in your home can blow. The best way to find the cause of this “failure” is to disconnect devices from the power supply – one at a time. If, after lifting back the switches, the power supply is not interrupted – you have probably found the main culprit.

3 Most Common Causes of Blow Fuses

Now that you’ve had a quick reminder of how fuses work, let’s find out why they actually blow. The electrical system should work flawlessly, therefore many of the reasons why fuses keep tripping are related to poor maintenance or damage to the system. This is when you should call Wiktorowski Electrical Services to have a licensed electrician check out your electrical installation. If you hear strange or crackling noises, or if you’re encountering flashing lights, the fuses have blown because of:

Network overload

Network overload happens when too many devices are connected to the power at once. Powering all receivers uses too much combined power, and the fuses trip when it exceeds 10% of the circuit breaker’s full capacity. Nowadays, network overload happens mostly in older houses, which have outdated installations. An installation planned for a lower energy demand will not be able to keep up with more resource-consuming devices. In this case, you have to replace or renew the electrical installation.

electrical-servicesObsolete fuses

Frequently breaking fuses does not have to mean the necessity to replace the entire installation. It often turns out that it is the fuses themselves that are not able to function properly. Old fuses are more and more often replaced with new ones rated to a higher current load. They are characterized by a lower failure rate and greater resistance to high power consumption. Fuses should be replaced by a licensed electrician, and the replacement process itself usually does not take more than a few hours. We’ll take care of that for you, just give us a call and tell us what your problem is.

Damage to the electrical network

Power cuts aren’t always related to the circuit breakers. If your home electrical network goes out of service several times a week, the best solution is to contact a trusted electrician that will inspect your electrical system and check it for serious problems. Damage to your installation can be dangerous and all repairs should be performed by a certified electrician.

Damaged Electrical Equipment

Frequent fuse blowing situations may be caused by a damaged appliance connected to the circuit. A washing machine, iron or a TV, which suddenly takes up more power than usual, will blow up the circuit breakers. This is especially easy to observe when the fuses always trip when the device is plugged in or is turned on. Try to unplug the faulty equipment from the outlet and test the electrical installation with a different device. If the problem persists – check if any of the appliances needs high starting power. Replace your old microwave, vacuum cleaner or iron with a model that consumes less power and the problem should be solved.

Are Blowing Fuses a Good Reason to Call an Electrician?

chicago electrical companyOf course. Remember that tripping fuses is a very common problem. Electrical system failures often do not show visible signs, and frequently tripping fuses can be one of the clues. You can eliminate the simplest causes of blown fuses on your own. Remember to check the various configurations of connecting devices to the sockets in your home and to replace old electrical equipment with new ones. However, if you know that your apartment or house uses an outdated installation or the electrical system has not been inspected by an experienced professional for a long time – call Wiktorowski Electrical Services today.

Contacting  a licensed electrician will help you fix the problem without exposing yourself and your loved ones to unnecessary danger.

9 Tips for Using a Generator Safely

Regardless of the quality, brand or model of the electric generator you have, it should be used and maintained according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure trouble-free operation, which in turn will extend its life.

Proper generator installation and use ensure its long service life

ServicesGENERATORSChoosing the right device is not easy at all and the final decision is influenced by many factors. When researching devices, it may turn out that the model that will work well on a construction site, may be useless as a house emergency power supply or when organizing a mass event. The purchase of a generator should therefore be based on determining the power needed, its purpose, reliability or additional functions. Customers are usually informed about these things, but we decided to go a step further. Our mission is to provide top-notch generator installation, as well as to educate our clients on the operation, maintenance and safety as well as to give guidance on how to properly use a power generator. The following tips can be considered the result of our work.

Read on to learn the ABCs of how to properly use a power generator.

1. Read the instructions manual

Your adventure with a new power generator should begin with reading the instruction booklet first. After all, it’s not enough to have the generator installed and simply start the engine. The proper operation of the system and your safety depend on the proper use and preparation of the device. Each of these types of machines is very similar, but it is still worth learning the specifications of your specific model.

Differences in the design may be insignificant, but the devil is in the details. Give it a few minutes and read the product description to know, for example, which oil to use for your generator. A power generator is similar to a car. An unsuitable mixture can lead to engine seizure, which is not what you want. When analyzing the instructions manual, also pay attention to the various contraindications and risks that may occur during the operation of the device.

2. First start-up – put the engine oil in and start the generator

We install brand new power generators. Therefore, the next step is to buy and put in the right type of fuel. Of course, our licensed electricians will give you all the information, however it is your job to remember to properly use the device in order to ensure its longevity. Before starting the unit it should be cleaned of any dirt resulting from the production process, as well as all components should be lubricated. For this purpose, engine oil is used. The recommended amount of fluid should be poured into the appropriate tank and the generator should be then turned on for about 3-4 hours. During this time, it cannot supply any loads whatsoever. After this time, the used oil should be removed and the engine should be refilled with fresh oil.

3. How to properly start up your new generator

Starting up the device should only take place when no receivers are connected to it, otherwise, the voltage stabilization is often damaged and thus costly to repair. Starting the generator under load is associated with a lower rotational speed of the drive, and thus – a decrease in the voltage frequency. If this value is decreased, it must be raised to the rated level. Unfortunately, this process is very fast and the AVR is unable to keep up with it. As a result, the system crashes due to overloading.

The AVR system is also sensitive to a voltage drop while the current increases. In such cases, the generator engine tries to achieve the appropriate RPM value necessary to excite the generator, the stabilizer will then obviously try to stabilize the voltage, which may strain it and cause a failure.

The AVR breakdown is not the only problem that can occur when starting the engine under load. It is worth remembering if you want your power generator and devices connected to it to work for a long time.

4. Using the generator in proper conditions

Each generator only works properly in a specific environment. Some of them can be placed in a backyard, while others need to be indoors. However, it must not be forgotten that poisonous gases are released while the engine is running. They need to be disposed of outside, and this is only ensured by an appropriate exhaust system. The operation of these machines in a closed garage or workshop is also not recommended for another reason. Engines require air circulation for cooling. Lack of access to fresh air leads to overheating of the drive, which will certainly have a negative impact on its further operation. The user is therefore obliged to ensure appropriate working conditions for the device, otherwise the warranty is void due to improper usage.

5. Oil change and its level

The oil level should be maintained at the level specified by the manufacturer as indicated in the instructions manual. Too little of it can lead to engine seizure, and too much to other damage. Therefore, it should be monitored on an ongoing basis so that the generator works without any issues.

After working for a specific number of hours the oil needs to be replaced. Oxidised engine oil loses its lubricating properties, which causes the engine to work harder. Used oil translates into blocking of the moving parts of the engine due to heat caused by friction.

How to replace it? It’s best to do it while it’s still warm. Depending on the model, you can remove the used oil by unscrewing the drain screw in the engine block or by removing the dipstick and tilting the generator to the side. However, it should be remembered that oil is a substance harmful to the environment. You should pour it into a special container and then take it to a disposal point.

If you don’t want to do it on your own, call Wiktorowski Electrical Services and one of our licensed electricians will help you with your generator maintenance activities.

6. What kind of fuel is suitable for my home generator?

We often use a generator during grid power outages. Strong winds or storms can break electric lines, causing prolonged power outages. Having a power generator at such moments seems extremely important.

When planning to shut down the device for a long time, it must be properly preserved. This process should begin with the removal of the fuel. The liquid loses its properties due to evaporation and after about 30 days it is not suitable for further use. During a long “standby” sediment forms, which gets into the carburetor and causes clogging of its nozzles and the inability to start the engine. In this case, the only thing you can do is call Wiktorowski Electrical Services and have one of our expert Chicago electricians come down and perform a professional generator repair service.

7. Maintaining the air filter

Each engine, whether in a car or a power generator, heats up during operation. Its proper operation is therefore based on maintaining an optimal temperature throughout operation. The drives in power generating devices are most often air-cooled, therefore the condition of the filter is extremely important. It should always be checked just before starting the generator. If necessary, it should be cleaned or replaced so that the engine works without any problems. It should be done at least once a year, and with very intensive use of the generator, even several times during one season. The air filter is one of the basic parts of the engine, so starting the generator without it is extremely dangerous.

8. Spark plug maintenance

The spark plug’s main task is to create a spark that will start the engine. It is an extremely important element. When it’s cracked, worn, tarnished or with a damaged insulator it simply stops working. In this case, it must be replaced.

9. Protecting the generator against harsh weather conditions

Although power generators are relatively large and massive devices, weather conditions can cause operational issues. Snow or rain have a destructive effect on individual components or the structure of the entire device. Therefore, you should protect your generator against rainfall, as excessive moisture is the first step to irreversible damage.

How can using the right light bulbs in your home save you money on your energy bills?

Electricity bills are one of the most important (and most painful) monthly payments of a home, office, production plant or other type of building. No wonder why so many people are looking for ways to reduce their electric costs, especially now during a pandemic, when most of us spend way more time at our homes than we normally do. Finding savings is not difficult at all – all you have to do is educate yourself about ways you can make your home more energy efficient. Our electricians and team of electrical service experts from Wiktorowski Electrical Srvices team will help you with this.

make your home more energy efficientElectricity bills are fixed expenses that both entrepreneurs running their own business and people who use electricity in their homes must bear. Today, many people cannot imagine life without constant access to electronic devices, which are connected to the Internet, household appliances that facilitate everyday household chores, or the operation of production plants without modern equipment. However, we often forget about lighting – artificial light accompanies us so often that we hardly pay attention to it. Meanwhile, it is responsible for a considerable part of electricity consumption, and it significantly impacts the amounts that you see on your electricity bills. To lower them, it is worth investing in energy-efficient lighting.

Energy-saving bulbs include halogen incandescent, compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) and LEDs. Our old bulbs have been upgraded and quickly replaced by innovative products, which apart from the obvious advantage of relatively low power consumption, which translates into low energy bills, also heat up less than traditional light bulbs.

Replacing Old Bulbs With Halogen Incandescents

Halogen lamps are considered energy-saving. They’re filled with halogen gas under pressure, thanks to which the filaments in them can reach a higher temperature than if surrounded by argon mixed with nitrogen (used in ordinary bulbs). This does not affect the durability of the light source. Moreover, higher filament temperature translates to better luminous efficacy. In the case of an ordinary 60 W light bulb, it is 11.8 lm/W, and in the case of a linear halogen bulb of the same power – 14 lm/W. Thus, by replacing conventional filament light bulbs with halogen light sources, the same amount of light can be obtained by consuming 15-20% less energy or having a brighter home without increasing its consumption. The average lifetime of a halogen bulb is 1000 hours.

Replacing Traditional Bulbs With Fluorescent Light Bulbs

Greater savings can be achieved by using compact fluorescent lamps (CLFs) as well. They are available as compact fluorescent lamps – with an integrated ignition system and a thread that allows them to be placed in fixtures intended for regular light bulbs. The luminous efficacy of fluorescent lamps is approximately 50 lm/W (you can also find ones with an efficiency of 100 lm/W), so using the one with a power of 11 W, you can get almost as much light as a 60 W bulb. Your energy savings can be about 80%.

CLFs’ service life can vary considerably. Theoretically, it ranges from 6 to 15 thousand hours, however, it is much shorter in the case of placing the fluorescent lamp in a hermetically sealed luminaire. Frequent switching on and off also accelerates the wear of the fluorescent lamp. It is worth taking into account that their use causes disturbances in the electrical network, which worsens the quality of energy available in the power supply system.

Replacing Bulbs With LEDs

home energy efficientLED bulbs are currently the most in demand in the lighting market, and their prices have now declined to a point that every sector relies on LEDs as the most economical choice. They can be mounted in all popular types of lighting fixtures with standard size E26 screw-mount. They are also sold in the form of self-adhesive tapes. Generally, flat SMD diodes of various sizes and luminous efficacy are used in LED lamps. The most common SMD 3528 and larger 5050 generate about 80 lm/W (large Power LED diodes have an indicator of nearly 200 lm/W, but are very expensive). The larger the dimensions, the greater the power, so the same amount of light is obtained from a smaller number of LEDs. Compared to ordinary light bulbs, diodes with an indicator of 80 lm/W consume 85% less energy.

Research shows that good-quality LEDs can shine for up to 100,000 hours, but the service life of those that are available in stores at an attractive price, can be ten times shorter. Many of them fail after just a few months, so it’s important to invest in high-quality products.

Summary

Replacing traditional light bulbs with LED bulbs is certainly the easiest way to reduce your electricity bills. Their use does not require changing the electrical installation – it is enough to replace traditional light sources with LED ones. According to professional electricians, this solution will allow savings of up to 85%, especially if LED bulbs will work in those rooms where artificial lighting is used during the day for a long time. The installation of this type of light sources will reduce electricity bills not only in private residents, but also large production plants, offices, enterprises, and even in the case of street lighting. The use of LED lamps will therefore be an excellent solution wherever high quality lighting is important, while at the same time reducing electricity costs.

Updating Your Electrical System: Electric Wiring Redo Facts

electrical services in Chicago

A major home construction project is a great moment to upgrade your electrical system, especially in an old building. It is not uncommon for old wires and cables to break down and not be able to cope with all the requirements of a modern household. Not only does an old electrical system fail when modern electronic equipment is connected, but it also threatens the safety of both the residents and the devices hooked up to the sockets, and can easily cause an electric shock or even a fire.

Although city regulations do not explicitly require electrical modernization, homeowners and property managers are obliged to maintain their building’s installations in a proper technical condition.

The need to modernize the electrical network occurs when the installation is more than 30 years old, and also when the originally estimated energy demand is insufficient. For example, it turns out that the system has too few sockets or that the entire installation is working at a lower level of efficiency, and connecting more devices causes the fuses to keep blowing. The materials used to make old electrical installations, such as aluminum wiring, have aged considerably. The number of electrical appliances in a home has increased and old cables are not able to cope with the energy supply of a modern family.

Renovation is an excellent opportunity to modernize your electrical installation, because the replacement of electrical cables requires breaking the top layer of walls or floors. Hiring a professional licensed residential electrician to update your electrical installation will certainly ensure the job is done right and nobody is put in an unsafe situation. The law prohibits unauthorized persons from conducting such work. Only a professional with appropriate knowledge resulting from many training courses and professional experience is able to modernize an electrical system efficiently, guaranteeing safety and preventing future safety concerns.

chicago electrical company Hiring premium electrical services in Chicago will be the easiest step toward making your remodeling project a success.

Modernization of Electrical Installations – Where To Start?

First of all, the modernization of the electrical installation must be properly and thoroughly planned. It’s vital to analyze the current needs of the household in terms of the amount of energy consumption and the functionality of the installation. Then you should consider whether these needs will increase (planned family expansion, house expansion, purchase of new energy-consuming devices). Before sitting down with your trusted electrician, write down:

  • the number of sockets in each room
  • the preferred height at which the sockets should be installed in each room
  • total electricity demand of all devices
  • the location and method of connecting light sources in each room (wall lamps, chandeliers etc.)
  • list the intelligent systems in your house e.g. lighting, garage door or electrically operated window blinds
  • the way of switching the light on and off in individual rooms as well as the location and type of switches

After analyzing and considering all of the above-mentioned information with your hired electrician, he will be able to modernize the electrical installation and select the appropriate generator, wiring system and its control devices.

Basic Required Qualifications For Updating an Electrical System

All licensed electricians in Chicago should have insurance and documents confirming their professional competency under the law, as well as a deep knowledge of local codes and how to install electrical systems in accordance with them. All professional electricians should file for an electrical permit and the necessary building permits before work starts.

The Order Of Work

First of all, the condition of the current installation should be carefully assessed and modernization works should be thoroughly planned out. In places where you do not plan to replace the entire electrical installation, repairs of the damaged parts of the installation may be required.

The next step is to plan the route of new circuits and mark the places where we want to replace the installation. It should be remembered that according to current standards devices with high energy demand should be connected to separate circuits.

_installation of socketsThe last stage of upgrading the electrical system is the installation of sockets, fuses, and, at the customer’s request, lamps, lighting fixtures and switches. The type of protection on specific elements of the installation, the size of the circuit breakers, the components minimizing the effects of electric shock, etc. are selected by the electrician who installs the system.

It is extremely important for the customer to understand that saving on materials used to install the electrical system will bring him losses due to a defective installation in the future and the lack of sufficient safety. It is better to use cables with a thicker diameter than those required by the standards, as this will guarantee high quality of use for the following decades. It is also not worth saving on the generator, because it is the heart of the entire home power system, on which the quality of the entire installation depends.

New Generator Installation

generac-generatorGenerator replacement can be a good idea when you’re rewiring your entire electrical system. Over the previous years headways in innovation have made modern generators more intelligent, efficient, more reliable, and better looking. While equipment prices may have gone up, installation expenses might not be as high, if sufficient devices, wirings, and installations have been previously set up.

Whatever the current condition of your house generator is at the moment, you may want to consider replacing it with a new one that can provide all the electrical needs of your household.

Ways a Licensed Electrician In Chicago IL Can Help Lower Your Energy Bills

Ways A Licensed Electrician In Chicago IL Can Help Lower Your Energy Bills

Did you know that the rational use of electricity can save you up to several hundred dollars a year? Moreover, efficient media management supports an ecological lifestyle and is a tribute to environmental protection. Regardless of whether you’re keeping your wallet or the environment in mind, both are good reasons to start saving up on electrical bills! Below you will find several proven ways to reduce your electricity bills noticeably.

How to save money on electricity? Change your habits!

It’s definitely impossible to function without electricity in the modern world, so we are all doomed to pay high electricity costs or we can look for alternatives. Let’s focus on the savings that we can implement immediately.

High electricity bills are a problem for almost every Chicago family, so it is worth introducing changes that will allow you to save on bills today. While heating is by far the largest share of the energy used in running your home, you can also save by using many other household appliances. We do not consider whether it is profitable to buy devices that use less energy. Often, the difference in price, for example, of washing machines or refrigerators, is not due to the amount of energy used, but from many other characteristics, so it is very difficult to assess the profitability of the purchase. Let’s just assume that saving energy always pays off – not only in terms of money. Little or no interest in the rational use of energy and its wastage are the reasons for the degradation of the environment. We should change that without waiting for radical price increases to force us to do so. They will be inevitable as natural fuel resources are shrinking fast.

Here are some tips on how to reduce your electricity bill.

Saving Electricity: Electrical Appliances

Saving Electricity_ Electrical AppliancesThe amount of energy consumed by electrical devices is indicated by their energy class. Ecologists and supporters of energy saving should avoid all devices with an energy class lower than A. Especially that most of the devices currently produced are, in fact, energy-efficient. This applies to refrigerators, washing machines and dishwashers, and therefore the biggest eaters of electricity. Refrigerator manufacturers usually tell you what their annual energy consumption is, so it’s easy to find the most energy-efficient appliance.

Hiring an licensed electrician in Chicago, IL not only takes the pressure off you having to know what wire goes where; we can also make sure that your appliances are wired for maximum energy efficiency.

Washing machine and dishwasher

If the operation of the washing machine and dishwasher is to be economical, you need to turn them on only when you collect enough clothes and enough dishes for it to be fully loaded. It’s always also better to avoid high temperature programs. 100 degrees F is usually enough for washing with detergents. Use economic programs with extended rinsing time and shortened spin cycle. In order to be able to wash the dishes in water at a lower temperature and with a shorter cycle, we should not wait for food residues to dry on them. This conflicts with the recommendation to load the dishwasher full – here you have to find a middle ground. Certainly, many larger families don’t have a problem with this, because their dishwashers fill up quickly. Also, avoid using the dishwasher’s drying program. Disabling this function (using the ECO or BIO program) will reduce the dishwasher’s energy consumption by approximately 30%.

Refrigerator

make sure that your appliances are wired for maximum energy efficiencyPlace your fridge away from heat sources – primarily from the radiator, stove and oven – and protect it from sunlight. Air must circulate freely around the refrigerator (especially at the rear). It should also have sufficiently large ventilation grilles that cannot be covered with anything. The lack of ventilation extends the operating cycles of the aggregate, which means that the refrigerator can use up to several times more energy. Also, the condenser on the rear of the refrigerator must be regularly cleaned of dust and defrosted. Dust and ice hinder heat transfer, which means the refrigerator uses more electricity. To reduce the formation of frost, do not place warm food in your fridge. In order not to unnecessarily heat its interior, it must be opened as rarely as possible and for the shortest possible time. When you want to defrost food from the freezer, put it in the fridge, of course, in advance. Because the food is very cold, it will receive heat from the fridge’s interior and relieve the work of the aggregate, thus reducing the energy consumption of the refrigerator.

Stove

If you have the option to choose between a gas and electric stove, remember that gas costs less than electricity, and its combustion is less burdensome for the environment than the combustion of coal used in many power plants. When buying an electric cooker with a ceramic hob, choose a model with variable heater sizes, so as not to unnecessarily heat up too much of the hob surface by cooking in a small pot. Ideally, the pot should have a diameter that is nearly 1 inch larger than that of the heating area. It should also have a smooth and clean bottom. As the electric hob cools down for a long time, it is worth switching it off a few minutes before the end of cooking. Less energy (nearly 25%) is consumed by induction hobs, where there are no heating elements, and the heat is generated thanks to electromagnetic induction directly at the bottom of the pan. This is why it is necessary to use special pots and pans made of ferromagnetic steel.

Regular generator repair and maintenance

generac-generatorRegardless of the quality, brand or model of your generator, it requires specific maintenance that allows it to continue working without problems, and that in turn extends its lifespan. Proper maintenance is crucial to ensure that your generator as well as your home appliances continue to function safely and efficiently.

By having a trusted electrician perform regular repairs and maintenance tasks, you will not only save money on your energy bills, but will also make sure that your family and home are safe. Making generator repairs in a timely manner will help prevent bigger and more costly problems further down the line and thus will improve the overall efficiency of the generator and lower the costs of future repairs and your bills. By having a licensed electrician perform regular electrical inspections, you can not only lower your energy bills, but you can also make sure that your family and home are safe.
