Named after Scottish inventor James Watt, the watt is a measure of electrical power. Watt’s mechanical innovations led to steam engines that produced more power with greater efficiency. As a result, physical power is also measured in watts, which are equivalent to 1/746 hp.
A well-planned and well-built electrical system can last you decades, but sooner or later it can run into problems. Whether you recently bought the house, or have owned it for years, an electric contractor can help you repair any problems to make it last for decades to come.
You don’t want to mess up any aspect of your renovation, but the risk of error in the electrical work is much higher than in most other areas. That’s why an electrical contractor is your best solution to electrical work that you need to do.
The Chicago World’s Fair (formally known as the World’s Columbian Exhibition) in 1893, was a celebration of electricity and its potential. In fact, it became a battleground between proponents of direct current (Thomas Edison and J.P. Morgan) and advocates of alternating current (Nikola Tesla and Westinghouse).
The wiring for landscape lighting is different than the wiring for internal lighting. Landscape systems have to be able to withstand the elements, and the wires have to be placed in a location to keep them from being damaged by landscaping efforts. Electrical contractors will ensure that everything is installed correctly.
Did you know electric fields work in a similar way to gravity? However, gravity always attracts but electric fields can either attract or repulse, just like magnetism! In fact, in 1819 Hans Christian Oersted discovered that a magnetic field surrounds a current-carrying wire, which ultimately led to these connections with other scientific properties.
