Do you have a power failure?
Need to hire an electrician for your home?
Here are some parameters that are important to pay attention to.
Electrician license -
it is important to note that the professional is qualified to work in the field of electricity.
A professional who has a license will not have a hard time presenting it.
If he refuses to do so, he probably has a good reason.
Experience -
Seniority has no substitute, certainly not in the field of electricity, where safety problems may arise.
Testimonials -
Anonymous surfers who praise or defame a particular electrician may be motivated by foreign motives, so you should always rely on testimonials from people you know personally.
If you do not have any, ask your electrician to speak to a recommender.
Warranty -
Never give up on a warranty or invoice, as power outages can be recurring, and if you do not charge yourself, you will very quickly find that cheap is expensive.
Periodic inspection -
even if you do not have an electrical fault, it is recommended to conduct a general inspection of the electrical system every five years.
It will give you peace of mind, especially if you live in an old apartment.
What is an amp?
So that they do not sell you stories about various and strange faults, here are some basic concepts in electricity that are important for you to know.
Volt -
a basic unit that measures the amount of electricity that passes through a particular electrical system.
Ampere -
a unit for measuring the speed of the electric current.
Grounding -
In situations where there is a short circuit, grounding causes the electric current to pass directly to the ground and not to the body.
Short - A
condition in which contact occurs between two (or more) conductors with different potential.
Shortage requires disconnection of all electrical appliances in the home, and lifting of the reduction switch.
Only after you have done this can you connect each product individually to identify the short source.
Depreciation relay -
a component that is in the electrical panel and its function is to protect us from electric shock.
Counter -
a device installed in the customer's home by the electricity company, and its function is to measure the electricity consumption to determine the amount of payment.
Safety -
Before any electrical operation, including electrical repairs, it is mandatory to disconnect the power supply.
Also, if you have old sockets it is important to replace them immediately, as this is a real fire hazard.
Three-phase - a
system that transmits an amount of energy three times greater than a single-phase system.
Beyond saving the amount of conductors, reducing the number of conductors is reflected in lower energy losses due to the existing resistance in the conductors.
Finally, knowledge is power, and this is true both of the electrician's invitation and of the conversation that takes place with him.
The more you know, the less you pay.
