Commercial Circuit Installation & Upgrades

Take a minute to think about how much electricity you use on a daily basis. From the moment you wake up to your alarm clock’s buzzer, to your morning pot of coffee, to your cell phones and computers, you’re using lots and lots of energy.

Now think about when you get to work. Your business requires all sorts of power to perform tasks each day and if your circuits aren’t working properly, you’re going to run into some real issues. It’s time to upgrade and here’s why:

1. You rely on your business’s security system to ward off intruders and keep your business safe. Guess what, you need the right circuits for this to happen.
2. If you have a break room that has any appliances, like a refrigerator or dishwasher, you may need special circuits.
3. Using too many power strips and extension cords can cause major disasters if they are overloaded. Eliminate the risk of electrical fires with a circuit upgrade.
4. Not enough outlets to power your internet or phone modems, computers or other office equipment? How is your business supposed to flourish if you can’t even plug in the necessities?

In order to avoid overloading your circuits and prevent the risk of electrical fires, outlets should be upgraded to have the appropriate electrical capacity in each location of your business. Let the professionals at Mr. Electric update and install the right circuits in your business today. We understand that you have a business to run, so let us take care of the electrical problems!

Spruce Up Your Home For Spring With Specialty Lighting

Tired of the same dimly lit rooms in your home? Don’t have enough light to perform everyday tasks? Just want to add some flair and spice up your house a bit? All of these can be accomplished by adding specialty lighting to any area that can use a bit of sprucing. See below for some design inspiration:

Chandelier In The Kitchen

If you’re like most homeowners, you probably have a kitchen full of recessed lights and maybe an under-cabinet light or two if you’re lucky. It’s enough to you through your daily activities but that’s about it. Why not add additional fixtures like a modern chandelier? It will create a focal point and make a room where you spend the majority of your time a bit more inviting.

Basement Retreat

Have you transformed your basement into a man cave or a billiards room? Or is it just a cool place to get away when you need some relaxation? Old bar lights and lamps are out and LEDs are in! Choose from vibrant colors such as reds, blues and greens that will be sure to liven up this space.

Brighten Up The Bathroom

The bathroom requires adequate lighting because after all, this is where you do all of your grooming. Instead of central ceiling fixtures that cast shadows, opt for pendants on either side of the mirror. It will make your morning routine much easier and we all know how difficult getting ready in the morning can be.

The Battle Is On For Solar Energy In Florida

Get ready for battle! The issue at hand isn’t because of who favors solar energy and who doesn’t - because everyone loves sunshine. The push toward solar energy has been ongoing for the last several years and now the electric power monopolies are fighting over who gets to harvest and sell solar energy in Florida.

Environmental organizations have teamed up with groups that want to bust up the monopolistic control of solar energy in Florida. The Floridians For Solar Choice, as they are calling themselves, have put together a petition to put the matter on the statewide ballot in 2016.

This initiative hasn’t gone over well with Florida Power & Light and Duke Energy - they love solar, “but only if they can levy maintenance fees on customers who generate solar power and sell the excess back to the power companies” according to the Miami Herald. This process, called “net metering” has stirred up all sorts of controversy as charges for the cost of maintaining the electrical grid may show up on the bills of those without solar panels.

We will just have to wait and see what comes of the battle, but for now Mr. Electric of Tampa Bay would like to hear your thoughts.
