Holiday Decorating Safety Tips

As you deck the halls, please keep these electrical safety tips in mind:

Extension cords: Not only are extension cords tripping hazards, but they can also be risky on your electrical system. Be mindful of overload, ground prong cut off, torn or shredded insulation, or even electrocution.
Outlets: Make sure these are working properly. We recommend ground-fault circuit interrupters — more commonly called GFCIs — which protect against electrical shock.
Ladders: Make sure they are placed on stable ground! Also, most ladder-related accidents come from individuals using ladders taller than six feet high. The risk exposure is also great when folks attempt to hang lights on the top of the roof. Bring a buddy to spot you or even consider hiring a professional!
Leave it to the professionals: Did you know that the skilled technicians at Allegiant Electric also hang Christmas lights? Contact us today if we can help make it a jolly holiday.

Wishing you a bright and joyous holiday season!

Springtime tips from Allegiant Electric

Happy Spring! As we start a new season with the news of the Coronavirus pandemic on our minds, the team at Allegiant Electric sends our best for a healthy start to springtime.

While things are changing daily, we wanted to share that we are currently open and fully operational to support our clients.

And if you and your family are either self-quarantining or following social distancing, we thought the below spring-cleaning tips might come in handy:
• Replace smoke detectors every ten years; batteries should also be kept up-to-date.
• Convert burned-out light bulbs to LED options, which are more energy-efficient and can help bring energy demand down.
• Consider making small investments in your home, like carbon monoxide detectors and security lights for peace of mind. Also, Ring doorbells can bring visibility to your front door, whether you’re home or not. And lastly, installing Nest thermostats can make controlling your temperatures from an easy-to-use app.
• Have an extra freezer in your garage? Make sure it is plugged into a regular, non-protected outlet. By code, garage receptacles are already built to be protected, and GFI-protected outlets may trip…often causing frozen food to spoil.
• Take the opportunity to change out air filters.
• Hire a professional to check that your main electrical panel is in good working order and not overheating.

We are proud to call Las Vegas home and are proud to deliver electrifying experiences within Las Vegas. Take care this spring!

When You Need an Electrical Contractor

A house that’s five years old could have a lot of things that need to be checked and replaced. While you could do the basics yourself, repairs and improvements that deal with electricity can be a bit dangerous. Which is why you will need the help of an electrical contractor to get things done. Here are a couple of scenarios where it would be in your best interest to call one:

Where there is smoke

Have you noticed smoke or sparks coming off of an outlet? Are your light sources flashing on and off from time to time? While the latter could be caused by ghosts, the former should be taken very seriously as these are the main causes of house fires and other electricity-related accidents. Repairing the outlet yourself can also be dangerous, please call on the experts so you can spare yourself from getting electrocuted in the process.

Installation of New Electrical Equipment

Got a new chandelier that you’ve been meaning to install? Or you could be trying to set-up that brand new generator that you have? Whatever the appliance may be, electrical contractors will be more than happy to have it installed as safely and as quickly as possible. Doing it on your own could be risky. So have it installed by the pros and you’ll be enjoying your new appliance or decorations in no time.

Soaring Electrical Bills

If you have noticed a spike in your electrical bills but you haven’t changed anything in your consumption, then call on electrical contractors. They will be happy to get to the bottom of it.

Now, you could find an electrical contractor online or you could simply check out Allegiant Electric LLC. We have been providing our electrical expertise to the people in Las Vegas, NV for years and you can bet that we can do wonders for your home as well.
