"REVIEW: A-Lite Install of Security Camera System We had a 4K Five Camera Lorex Security System installed on the outside of our one-story house. In addition to the exterior cameras, the system included a NVR which provided the capability to store the data locally and to view the camera outputs on our 4k TV as the display, and over the internet on our mobile phones, as well as store the data locally on a 2TB recorder. A-lite Electric did the installation. At the start before receiving the bid, a Tech came out to carefully look over the house, including: the location of the cameras, the attic in which the cables would be run and the in-house location of the NVR and display. During our discussion I mentioned an area inside the attic which was difficult to traverse because of the location of a fragile heating duct. He determined that it would not be a problem. Two techs did the installation. They were knowledgeable, careful, helpful, and through. To insure waterproofing, they secured the cameras beneath the eaves, applying caulk to the camera base where it attached to the rough exterior stucco walls and to where the cables passed through the outer house walls. In the interior, they ran the many cables required through a cord cover kit that looks like it was part of the house and is hardly noticeable. Cables were also run through the attic from the NVR to the TV and so that the system could be set up, viewed and controlled from that location--all holes were caulked The techs helped to adjust the cameras to cover the desired areas and the system as displayed on the TV worked beautifully covering the desired exterior areas. We couldnâ  t be happier with the installation by the techs from A-lite, and the resulting performance of the security system."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Choosing a unit with higher BTUs can use more electricity if the BTUs are more than what’s necessary for your room size. However, choosing an AC with BTUs that match the size of your room or house, your unit will cool your space efficiently. On the flip side, choosing a system with not enough BTUs can cause the system to work harder to try to cool the space, leading to more electricity consumption and higher energy bills.

If a light switch is off, it’s very unlikely to cause a fire. For a fire to start, the switch has to be on, activating an electrical current, and the wiring must be faulty. However, the malfunctioning light switch could cause an intermittent current to move across the electrical wire. This issue could become a fire hazard with another device connected to the wire. You should replace the bad light switch as soon as you notice it or call an electrician.

In most cases, line wires are located at the bottom of a panel or device, while load wires are located at the top. Line wires are generally black, while load wires are typically red or black. To tell for sure, you can use a multimeter or volt pen to test the wire. A live or line wire will always carry a charge, while a load wire will only carry a charge when it’s in use.

Upgrading your amp service could possibly be a solution to tripped breakers. Circuit breakers in an electrical panel trip as a safety measure when something goes wrong with the current, and that’s often caused by plugged-in devices trying to draw too much current. Replacing the electrical panel with a new model and new breakers designed for higher amps can fix this problem.

Electric bills tend to be lower in spring and fall because people use less electricity during these seasons. Milder temperatures allow for less use of heating and cooling, unlike during winter and summer, which usually bring more extreme temperatures.
