Electric Zone skilled electricians offer their services to install fans, if you don’t already have them, or repair, in case they aren’t functioning.
Which Rooms in Your Home should have an Exhaust Fan?

Or you may need larger or more powerful exhaust fans. That is the main reason that you should turn to our service to install exhaust fans safely. Modern fans not only exhaust air, but many also include a lighting fixture and/or heating unit. If you have a bathroom (especially one without a window) or kitchen without an exhaust fan, you’ll really notice the difference after your Electric Zone professional installs your fans.

Power Surges and Surge Protection

An increase in voltage that substantially exceeds the standard designated flow of electricity — 120 volts, may result in wiring overheats and burns. Surge Protection is a solution to keep equipment safe from damages. Many types of equipments have circuitry or microchips that are overly sensitive to fluctuations in voltage. A spike in voltage can be harmful to appliances and electrical devices in your home. What causes power surges? One of the widespread reasons for power surges is the operation of heavy duty electrical devices. Such electrical devices can create great demand for electricity, which may cause disruption of voltage constant flow.
Other reasons for power surges are:
• Faulty electrical wiring
• Down power lines
• Problems with utility company’s lines, transformers and other components
• Lighting may sometimes cause power surges.
Surge Protection Ratings
On a listed surge protector, you should find a couple of ratings. Look for:
• Clamping voltage: This tells you what voltage will cause the MOVs to conduct electricity to the ground line. A lower clamping voltage indicates better protection. There are three levels of protection in the UL rating — 330 V, 400 V and 500 V. Generally, a clamping voltage more than 400 V is too high.
• Energy absorption/dissipation: This rating, given in joules, tells you how much energy the surge protector can absorb before it fails. A higher number indicates greater protection. Look for a protector that is at least rated at 200 to 400 joules. For better protection, look for a rating of 600 joules or more.
• Response time: Surge protectors don’t kick in immediately; there is a very slight delay as they respond to the power surge. A longer response time tells you that your computer (or other equipment) will be exposed to the surge for a greater amount of time. Look for a surge protector that responds in less than one nanosecond.
Buying Surge Protectors
Look for simple surge protectors equipped with a breaker to trip the device. If you purchase one with an indicator light that can let you know it’s working properly.
Some other features to consider are:
• Warranties
• Automatic Warning Devices
• 3-Line Protection
• Power Shut Down Protection
• Resettable Circuit Breaker
• GFCI Protection
Specialized surge protectors also have other types of connection, such as USB or barrel connection.
Whole House Surge Protectors
A whole home surge protection ensures the protection of any device at your home. Just call us, and our electricians will install it. Smaller whole house surge protection should be used for delicate circuitry, telephone and cable lines, while the multi-outlet power strip surge protection should be used to absorb any excess power that seeps through the primary protection.

Dedicated Circuits

Dedicated circuits are required by the National Electrical Code. The code requires that every fixed appliance must be served by a separate, dedicated circuit, not shared by any other appliance. A dedicated circuit is a circuit that serves only that appliance. These appliances include refrigerators, freezers, electric range, electric water heaters, furnaces, washers, dryers, microwaves, dishwashers, and garbage disposals. No other appliances will be plugged into or utilize the energy from this circuit, making it “dedicated” to that single appliance. Dedicated circuits ensure major appliances that draw a lot of electrical current are able to access the energy they need without overloading your system, blowing a fuse or tripping a circuit breaker.
There are three types of circuits, the 15-amp circuits, the 20-amp and the 30 to 50 amp circuits.
Why are dedicated circuits important?
Dedicated circuits are important for keeping your appliances safe and for ensuring your safety. If you don’t have a dedicated circuit for your air conditioner, the electrical current may overheat your wire insulation and even cause a fire.
Dedicated circuits with incorrect wire size and insufficient amperage may result in overheat. Thus, you will need professionals to wire your appliances safely and properly. Trust us and you’ll never regret!
How to Check the Need for a dedicated circuit?
Constantly tripping breakers are the main indicators that you need to install a dedicated circuit. Appliances that need a dedicated circuit include:
• Electric ranges
