July 28, 2024 userTheta8 Electrical Work

The program is popular with about 50,000 consumers participating. Loads typically involved in the program are dual oil heating systems, water heaters, storage heaters and commercial loads with backup generators. When needed, approximately 80 MW in summer and 350 MW in winter can be interrupted from a control center in Grand Forks.

Personalizing Your Space

Personalizing Your Space – Renovating your space isn’t just about decluttering and organizing; he also knows how to personalize his room so that it feels more familiar, more comfortable, more “you”.

But how do we know if our space needs a little more personality? The most obvious sign that your bedroom doesn’t reflect your personality or preferences is that you don’t feel comfortable in your space. You are sitting in your room and you feel that something is missing. It feels blah or generic. Or, the colors don’t suit you or your taste.

Personalizing Your Space

My eDesign client Kelsey (check out her website here!) and her husband moved out of town and into a house that was previously owned by someone else. The home office used to have deep blue walls. This type of blue was never in the shade that Kelsey likes or is used to.

Troubleshooting Electrical Breakers

July 11, 2024 userTheta8 Electrical Work

Troubleshooting Electrical Breakers – A sudden loss of power in part of your home naturally sends you to the circuit breaker box. A loose switch will indicate which breaker has tripped. Typically, you can reset the circuit by clicking it completely to the off position and then switching it to the on position. As long as you disconnect anything that is overloading the circuit – such as a power tool you don’t normally use on that circuit – the power should be restored. A circuit that will not reset, however, requires deeper investigation. The problem may be serious and require electrical repairs.

You will need to check all electrical connections in the circuit and identify the problem through a process of elimination. Once you know which outlets, switches, appliances and light fixtures are on the circuit causing the problem, turn off and unplug everything. Turn the breaker to the on … Read the rest
