The breaker box is the brain or heart of your electrical system. It regulates and distributes power to your appliances and electronics. That said, if your power needs are overloaded the circuits, then you could be at risk of sparks and fire. As they get older, breaker boxes start being less efficient. If you have an older home that was built before the age of modern electronics, then it may only be 100 amps. Homes nowadays need 150 to 200 amps to be fully powered. Give an expert at Baker Brothers a call to evaluate your breaker box and repair it if needed, or replace it with an upgraded unit.
A ground fault circuit interrupter helps prevent shocks and sparks from electricity coming into contact with water. That is why they are great to install in bathrooms, the kitchen, and outside your home. They will cut off power immediately if they sense that the current is going through water. It is important to test them every month by pressing the testing button. If the power does not cut off, then it is not functioning properly. You should replace a GFCI outlet right away if it is not working. If the current has been cut off, you can reset the outlet by pressing the “reset” button which gets it back up and running again.
One of the best ways to make your home pop when it comes to curb appeal is with well-designed exterior lighting. Our experts at Baker Brothers can design a lighting system that you will love and that will look amazing. Well-lit homes are safer, more enjoyable, and provide a less inviting target for criminals. It is important to maintain your outdoor lighting by keeping debris away from your fixtures and replacing bulbs promptly. One burnt out bulb can affect the entire look of the lighting design.

LED lighting is becoming a more popular choice all the time for homeowners in and around McKinney. It gives off a pleasant light while also being better for the environment and your pocketbook. They can last up to 25 years, and use less energy than traditional bulbs. They also give off less heat, which can prevent fires. LED lights can also be directed in any way you choose, as opposed to incandescents, which direct light everywhere. LED lighting can get you a great look in your home, while also helping lessen those energy bills.
Fire is definitely something that almost all homeowners are worried about. A smoke detector will help make sure your family is out of the house and safe quickly after a fire starts. Install a detector in every bedroom and in every stairwell. Make sure to test them regularly and to change the batteries every year. Carbon monoxide has no smell and is invisible, so the only way to know if it is a danger is through a detector. Plug one in near any place that someone sleeps, and replace the unit every 7 years.
