The Main Causes of Electrical Fires?

Electrical fires can be caused by a variety of reasons, such as faulty electrical systems, kitchen and home appliances or even minor mistakes in your electrical wiring.

According to researchers, most of the electrical fires are caused in the month of December because the winter invites a good deal of increased indoor activities. Property damages and even fatalities go up which is the result of increased electrical loads due to the additional usage of lighting, using more appliances and of course heating demands.

Electrical Systems should be carefully inspected annually by professionals since faulty wiring and increased loads can be such huge fire hazards. Caddell Electric is a well-known company that has the expertise required in dealing with issues involving meter bases, electric panels and code compliance. If your feel your electrical system needs a thorough check up, please contact Caddell Electric today.

If you own Stab-Lock breakers, they’ve been shown to fail to trip when getting hot and that can  can cause fires threatening your home, business and family.. They can also short circuit which can also cause a fire in your home. We’re not insinuating that just because you may have the Stb Lock breaker boxes they will definitely cause fires. We are just informing you that this brand of breaker boxes is not the quality you probably think you have and it is a good idea to have them tested and checked to be on safe side.

Things such as old, worn or outdated wiring, old plugs, and cords on old appliances may also cause fires. Even though they seem to be small issues, they can be the cause of huge monetary losses or worse one day. Home appliances that can cause a big threat are things like electric stoves, ovens, heating units, dryers, lamps and lighting, microwaves and so on. Most of us never even consider the risk but all those things increase the load on your breakers.

As they say, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”. It’s better to take care of your electrical systems and have them inspected once yearly than to take the risk of major problems due to something easy to fix.  Caddell Electric can eliminate a lot of that risk. Call 214-328-4567  to learn what services  we offer. We employ only licensed, well trained, professional electricians in Dallas.

How to Install A Ceiling Fan Easily

Most folks would (rightly) agree that when you put up a ceiling fan in the DFW area, it’s a matter of necessity as it stays hot for most of the year in our area. So putting up a fan any time of year makes a lot of sense.

Fan Plan: A Ceiling fan disperses the AC cooling nicely around the room and saves lots of money in energy bills. That’ why choosing the right size and more than that, the spot where you install it, is the key. The spot should be above or near where you normally sit and the blades need to be about 7’ above the floor for a good cooling effect. In the case of angled ceilings, use a sufficiently long down rod for preventing the blades from touching the ceiling. Along with the fan, buy these tools, if you don’t have them already.

Tools: Voltage tester, wire stripper-cutter, nut driver, pliers, wrench set, screwdriver, tape measure and a hammer. All of these should be well insulated and shock-proof. You would also need a 2 ft level, a bench or small ladder to stand on and a new fan brace after you have these in hand, you’re ready for the task.

How to fit the ceiling fan?

Usually, in Dallas and Fort Worth, ceiling fan points in the ceiling are pre-planned along with the wiring from the switch. Using the voltage tester, check whether the connection is working. Now, turn off the circuit breaker and make doubly sure that the power supply is disconnected.

Ceiling fans are housed in a box fixture in the roof and the old box has plastic/ metal clamps. Bend or loosen the clamps and remove the box using the hammer and a block of wood. Pull the wires you find there using pliers. If you can access the ceiling hole from the attic, fit the brace from there; otherwise, maneuver the brace through the box. This needs a bit of dexterity and care, failing which, you’re likely to damage the recess or even worse, sprain your back.

Slip the wires you’ve pulled earlier through the brace and mount the new box in place. Assemble the fan and down rod following manufacturer’s instructions, taking care to follow the color coding of the wires. Grounding wires are green, neutral wiring is white and the power cables are blue/black.  Now mount the fan to fit snugly in the box. Switch on the circuit breaker, check that the fan is working properly. Switch off the mains and fit the covering plate. The fan is now ready.

Last word: unless, you’re fairly familiar with electrical work, call an electrician to install the first fan and learn by observation. That’d be safer and simpler.

Don’t be Taken in by an Ad. How to Hire the Right Electrician in Dallas

What to look for when hiring a Dallas Electrician

Every now and then maybe a light bulb quits working. Or maybe a smoke detector in your home or office breaks down. You can probably handle these minor electrical jobs on your own. In fact, issues such as these can be taken care of by just about anyone who has fundamental electrical knowledge and has the right tools for the job. But what about more sophisticated work requiring a qualified, licensed electrician? Someone who specializes in doing the job right? Choosing an electrician is no light decision and you should make your choice only after you are convinced about the integrity and competence of the professional you are hiring.

Ask for references 

Whether you are looking for a Fort Worth electrician or a Dallas electrician, you need to ask for references. After all, you’re allowing access to this person to enter your home or business and you should make sure that he or she is worthy of that trust. To be safer, you can ask your friends or neighbors to recommend an electrician.

Never by embarrassed or hesitant in asking for this type of verification. Any professional should be more than happy to provide the proper documents and if the hesitate or give some/ANY excuse you are setting yourself for some real problems.

Is Your Electrical Systems Safe in your Plano Home or Business? Hiring a Professional Electrician from Plano may be the Best Investment you can Make

Almost anyone can claim to know how to do electrical work. Fixing a light fixture, taping a wire etc.– may not be a big deal,  but  letting a licensed professional handle a “real” electrical job is usually a much better decision.  A qualified Plano electrician has the knowledge of local codes that are approved by the licensing board. An unlicensed or untrained electrician might look like he’s saving you a little money, but imagine the cost for risking the health and welfare of your family, friends and customers. Not to mention the cost of damages to your property.

• When you are building a new house, leaving your electrical requirements under the supervision of a professional is very important. He can identify the problem areas and suggest the proper installation of the wiring making sure everything  is up to code. Electrical installation is a technical process that should be handled by a trained certified electrician.
• Licensed Plano electricians have a detailed knowledge of local code and safety requirements and know what type of circuit breakers and electrical boards to install for the appliances to be used in your home or business.  In addition to basic wiring or rewiring and installing or repairing electrical home appliances. Licensed Electricians professionals are up to date on new technology. By knowing the available latest equipment coupled with a broad knowledge base in technology, a licensed professional can understand your specific electrical issues well enough to offer the most economical options that still protect your family and property while meeting code requirements.
• A Licensed electrician not only helps ensuring the safety of your house but can also cut down your consumption costs and that minimizes ever rising electricity bills. Of course ensuring safety should be your first priority when you hire an electrician because even a small wiring mistake, or an attempt to “cut corners” can be very dangerous and cost far more than you’d be prepared to pay. BUT, your monthly budget is also an important consideration and a licensed electrician will always make sure that the required standards are met, codes are complied with and that the solutions provided use the least resources keeping your energy needs at the most efficient and least costly from the installation thru to the completion.

For existing systems that need a repair, a Licensed Plano Electrician pro can expertly conduct proper inspection of all wires, board switches installed, device condition and wires connecting the device for any problem in polarity or connection integrity.

Electrical systems, whether residential or commercial, is critical to the safe, efficient operation of any structure. Using a professional from your local area is a smart approach to making sure that all systems can be expected to provide years of economical, safe service.

Need a Second Opinion?

At Caddell Electric, we understand that spending hard earned dollars can be big pill to swallow. You want to know the job will be done right, on time and with no surprises. We recommend getting a second opinion for any large job. Even a third opinion is a good idea. Upgrading or adding to your existing electrical system is a major decision. Here are some things to look for when comparing estimates.

Are all companies reputable and members of the Better Business Bureau?

Have you compared the B.B.B reports and checked for complaints?

Are all estimates for the exact same work. Make sure you are comparing apples to apples.

Check warranty information. How long a company stands behind their work is often a good point to consider before the decision making is done.

Are all estimates relatively close in price? There is an industry average for electrical work. Bids that appear to be too high should really be examined closely.

Caddell Electric is a proud member of the Better Business Bureau. We invite you to check us out at www.bbb.com.

There are many companies working illegally without insurance, licenses, or a Master Electrician. Of course those companies can charge extremely cheap prices. There are also companies who charge 3x the average cost of work and hope you pay because you don’t know any better. If you have a question or just want to know if your estimate is in the right price range, give us a call and we will be glad to help you.

Electrical Panels

THIS IS THE HEART OF YOUR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND SHOULD BE INSPECTED YEARLY

We specialize in electrical panels, meter bases, and code compliance issues. If you feel that your electrical system needs to be inspected by one of our licensed electricians, please contact us today by calling 214-329-4567 or submit an online request form.

NOTE:

• Have you heard of a Federal Pacific or Zinsco electrical panel?
• Has someone told you “Your breaker box is dangerous”?
• Did you know that these “Stab-Lock” breakers can fail to “trip”?
• Federal Pacific and Zinsco breaker boxes are no longer UL listed and should be replaced

*Caddell Electric is not implying that if you own “Stab Lock” designed breakers your home will burn. It is however, safe to say that if you do in fact own this type of breaker, have a short circuit, and it fails to “trip”, the potential for a fire is far greater.

Here are a few facts from the U.S. Fire Administration regarding house fires.

During a typical year, home electrical problems account for 67,800 fires, 485 deaths, and $868 million in property losses. Home electrical wiring causes twice as many fires as electrical appliances.

The Facts

December is the most dangerous month for electrical fires. Fire deaths are highest in winter months which call for more indoor activities and increased lighting, heating, and appliance use. Most electrical wiring fires start in the bedroom.

The Cause

Electrical Wiring

Most electrical fires result from problems with “fixed wiring” such as faulty electrical outlets and old wiring. Problems with cords and plugs, such as extension and appliance cords, also cause many home electrical fires.

In urban areas, faulty wiring accounts for 33% of residential electrical fires.

Many avoidable electrical fires can be traced to misuse of electric cords, such as overloading circuits, poor maintenance and running the cords under rugs or in high traffic areas.

Home Appliances

The home appliances most often involved in electrical fires are electric stoves and ovens, dryers, central heating units, televisions, radios and record players.

Safety Precautions

Routinely check your electrical appliances and wiring.

Frayed wires can cause fires. Replace all worn, old or damaged appliance cords immediately.

Use electrical extension cords wisely and don’t overload them.

Keep electrical appliances away from wet floors and counters; pay special care to electrical appliances in the bathroom and kitchen.

When buying electrical appliances, look for products evaluated by a nationally recognized laboratory, such as

UnderwritersLaboratories (UL).

Don’t allow children to play with or around electrical appliances like space heaters, irons and hair dryers.

Keep clothes, curtains and other potentially combustible items at least three feet from all heaters.

If an appliance has a three-prong plug, use it only in a three-slot outlet. Never force it to fit into a two-slot outlet or extension cord.

Never overload extension cords or wall sockets. Immediately shut off, then professionally replace light switches, that are hot to the touch, and lights that flicker. Use safety closures to “child-proof” electrical outlets.

Check your electrical cords regularly for signs of wear. If the cords are frayed or cracked, replace them. Replace any cord if it causes even small electrical shocks, overheats, shorts out or gives off smoke or sparks.
