Panel Changes

Biltmore House – Power Panel

This is really incredible to see. The technology that was being used at that time is truly amazing, and the fact that it was used until 1990 is great.

While it may not be that massive, if you have an electrical service that is aging and would like to have one of our electricians come inspect and give an estimate to bring it up to date, give us a call!

From the Biltmore House Facebook post:

“While Biltmore House remains closed at this time, we hope you enjoy this peek at the sub-basement, where the original heating and power equipment still stand!

Biltmore was designed with “state-of-the-art” technology of the time. That is evident in Biltmore’s Sub-Basement where the original heating and power equipment still stand. This switchboard measures seven by sixteen feet and is made of four slabs of solid marble chosen for its insulating properties.

This switchboard was used until April of 1990 at which time it was determined to be inadequate to accommodate the needs of the House.”

Here When You Need Us – Coronavirus and Electricians

Hi Neighbors,

…turns out 2020 had some surprises in store for all of us. We hope your families and homes are holding up well in all this craziness. We wanted to reach out to all of you in our community to let you know we are here for you if you need us. Murphy’s law would have it that most things fail at the most inopportune time, and this would definitely qualify. Just know that we are still available 24/7 for any electrical and plumbing needs you may run into. If Our state institutes a lock down like New York and California we would still be available for emergency purposes. You’ll be glad to know that we’ve taken special precautions as of a few weeks ago to ensure we remain available to you.

Our office staff are working from home
All our techs check their temperatures before coming into work, and are scanned again once they arrive at our shop in the mornings.
All our techs have been informed to stay home if they exhibit any symptoms outlined by the CDC regarding covid-19.

To mitigate any falsehoods they have all been reassured that we will continue paying our technicians if they were to have symptoms or fall ill.

As an extra precaution, if you are high risk or are uncomfortable with someone in your home at this time we have masks and gloves available that the technicians can wear in your home.

We will get through this together, we love this community and are proud to do our part.

Thank you,

Rich Levert – President

Warning! Don’t do this! by your Raleigh Service Electrician

“It doesn’t take much to be electrocuted, fatally electrocuted just by an outlet in a wall socket,” Plymouth, Massachusetts, Fire Chief Ed Bradley said.

There is a new awfully-stupid challenge going around on kids’ social media, called the “outlet challenge” – involving partially plugging a phone charger into an outlet and then touching a penny to the exposed prongs. Obviously unsafe, fire officials are warning that the action could cause fire or serious injury.
