Electrician | My Top 3 Energy Saving Tips

1.)  If you have fan forced heaters or baseboard heaters throughout your home and you’re relying on the typical economical wall t-stat then do yourself a huge favor and upgrade to a digital t-stat. A digital t-stat can improve the overall efficiency as much as 30%. That’s a BIG improvement that can pay for itself very quickly. Why are they so much better and efficient? Because they are typically accurate to within a degree while you’re older economical t-stats can be off by 3-4 degrees or more. If you want the heater to to shut off at 70 and it really doesn’t shut off until 72 then you are wasting energy for the 2 degrees the t-stat is inaccurate. Sometimes the older t-stats act more like a on / off switch that we have to constantly adjust than a t-stat that measure the true temperature. Digital T-Stats for electric fan forced and baseboard heat is a great money saving investment!

Generator Review | Kohler Generator

I have been installing Kohler Generators for the past 2 years and prior to that I was installing and or wiring Generac, Generac Guardian, Coleman, Siemens, Honeywell, and Eaton brand generators for aproximately the past 5 years. Below is my review of the latest 14 & 20KW Kohler generators and the transfer switches that match these generators. These are all standby generators with automatic transfer switches.

The Positive: (These are the things I would personally look for in a generator!)

1.   The 14KW & 20KW are both now newly designed with a 100% corrosion-proof enclosure. You don’t have to worry about your investment rusting away in the rain or corroding away next to the salt water.
