How To Save On Electricity This Spring!

Massachusetts Electrical costs have been rising for the past few years. In 2023, Eversource and National Grid announced increased electrical rates. Some of our customers have seen an increase of nearly 30%.

You can’t change the electrical rate. However, Landry Mechanical has some tips on How To Save on Electricity This Spring!

 

Optimize Your Thermostat

Most homeowners don’t spend much time considering their thermostats. However, they play a significant role in your energy bill.

First, pay attention to changing weather and adjust your thermostat accordingly. If the weather is cold, lower your thermostat. If the weather is hot raise the temperature on the thermostat.

This can help reduce the workload on your heating or cooling system saving you money.

Consider Using a Smart Thermostat

Using Programmable or Smart Thermostats can reduce your energy cost significantly. Take advantage of its adjustment and scheduling features. These will reduce your energy spend during the day when your away or at night while sleeping.

Don’t have a smart home thermostat? “Just Call Landry”. Our comfort experts can assist with repairing or replacing your current thermostat with a Smart Thermostat saving you money in the process.

Proper HVAC Maintenance

If you want to reduce your energy cost, proper HVAC maintenance is a must. Most manufacturers recommend maintenance at least once per year. Preferably, you should have it maintained twice per year, once during the spring and fall seasons.

Regular maintenance ensures your system is running at maximum efficiency, lowering your energy costs. Also, maintenance helps spot problems ahead of time before they become a larger issue.

Thankfully, Landry Mechanical offers Heating & Cooling Maintenance services. Our comfort experts are here to help. We even offer maintenance plans that come with tune-ups included at no additional cost.

Optimize Lighting

Lighting is a huge portion of your electrical bill especially during winter months. There are some simple things you can do to reduce lighting costs.

Take advantage of Natural Light

If you’re home during the day, take advantage of natural light shining in. Open curtains and blinds during the day to light your home without electricity.

Spring Cleaning: Your Electrical System

Spring in New England is a time of warmer temperatures, gardening, and spring cleaning. It’s also the perfect time of year to inspect your home’s electrical system.

Landry Mechanical Inc. has a checklist for Spring Cleaning Your Electrical System.

Spring Cleaning For Your Electrical System
Spring Cleaning For Your Electrical System

Outlets and Cords

Outlets and cords are the most common electrical components homeowners interact with. Check all outlets and cords in your home. Look for loose connections, fraying cords, and ensure outlets aren’t overloaded.

Not sure how to tell if your outlets and cords are safe?

Just Call Landry! Our Electrical Experts offer Whole Home Safety Inspections for your home’s electrical system.

 

GFCI Outlets

GFCI outlets are commonly found in bathrooms, outside your home, or other moisture-rich areas.

These special outlets prevent electric shocks and damage to your electrical panel. To check GFCI outlets, press the ‘test’ button and re-set them to make sure they’re functioning properly

GFCI Outlets are common in bathrooms and outdoor patio areas
GFCI Outlets are common in bathrooms and outdoor patio areas

Not sure if your GFCI outlets are working? Just Call Landry!

Our Electrical Experts offer Whole Home Safety Inspections that include GFCI outlet inspection.

Exposed Wiring

Exposed wiring is a common sight in older homes. If you have exposed wiring in accessible areas it’s a good idea to inspect them. Common areas include basements, attics, and crawlspaces within the home.

When you inspect the wires look for signs of fraying cords and loose connections.

Not sure if your exposed wires are an issue?

Just Call Landry! Our Electricians will inspect all exposed wiring in the home to keep you safe.

Switches and Appliances

Part of your checklist should include inspecting light switches and appliances. For light switches make sure they’re securely mounted and function properly.

For appliances check their cords for wear and fraying wires.

Does your appliance cord look like this? Time to replace it!
Does your appliance cord look like this? Time to replace it!

Not sure if your light switches and appliances are safe?

Just Call Landry! Our electricians are here to help inspect your light switches and appliances.

GFCI Outlets: Why They’re Important

GFCI Outlets: Why They’re Important

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI’s) are electrical safety devices that shut off power during faults. Installing GFCI’s in your home can keep you safe.

However, many homeowners don’t know why they’re important.

Landry Mechanical Inc. is here with a guide to understanding GFCI Outlets and Why They’re Important.

A common GFCI outlet
A common GFCI outlet

Protection Against Electrical Shocks

A key feature of GFCI outlets is that they detect ground faults.

According to spruce.com, “a ground fault occurs when a hot wire contacts either the grounding wire or a grounded portion of the system”

The main danger of ground faults is electrical shocks that happen when a person makes a contact with the past of least resistance.

GFCI’s prevent electrical shocks caused by ground faults

How GFCI’s Protect Against Electrical Shocks

A functional GFCI outlet prevents this by rapidly cutting off power in case of a ground fault.

Thankfully, Landry Mechanical offers expert Electrical Services including GFCI installations.

Fire Prevention

Electrical fires are common in the United States.

According to the U.S Fire Administration, “there are approximately 24,000 electrical fires per year”

Electrical fires can destroy your home and put your family in grave danger.

Electrical Faults are a leading cause of electrical fires. Electrical Fires kill around 300 people per year. Don’t become a statistic!

How GFCI’s Protect Against Electrical Fires

GFCI’s protect against electrical fires by interrupting the current flow during a ground fault. This prevents overheating and potential ignition.

Are you worried about a possible electric fire in your home? “Just Call Landry” Landry Mechanical Inc. offers whole house safety inspections to ensure your home’s electrical system is safe.

Where Should You Have GFCI’s in Your Home?

GFCI’s can make your home safer than traditional outlets. However, they aren’t necessary in every area of your home. GCFI’s should be installed in areas that are near water or moisture.

GFCI Outlets are commonly found in bathrooms and kitchens. They should also be in areas with high moisture or outdoor areas

Some common areas for GFCI’s include:

  • Bathrooms
  • Kitchens
  • Laundry Rooms
  • Garages
  • Outdoor Areas
  • Basements

These areas often have water or moisture present that can make electrical shocks more common.

Don’t have GFCI’s in your bathroom or kitchen? “Just Call Landry” Our expert electricians excel at GFCI installations, electrical maintenance, and whole house safety inspections.

While it’s possible to install these outlets yourself, we’d recommend choosing Landry Mechanical to do so.

How to Test Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors?

Fall is right around the corner. This season brings colder temperatures and more time spent indoors.

Although, being inside makes you feel protected, it carries its own risks. Fall is the start of heating season. If the heating system isn’t properly maintained it could lead to smoke, fires, or Carbon Monoxide in your home.

Without regular testing of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, you put your family in serious danger including death. Unfortunately, these life saving devices are often forgotten about.

Here at Landry Mechanical we want you to be comfortable and safe in your home.

Here is our guide on how to test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

House on fire
Smoke detectors alert you when fires start. Testing saves lives!

How Often Should I Test My Smoke Detectors?

According to the U.S Fire Administration smoke detectors should be tested on a monthly basis.

However, other sources will tell you to check it twice per year.

Usually, we recommend checking your smoke detectors at the beginning of Spring and the Beginning of Fall.

This helps ensure your smoke detectors are running properly year round without having to check every month.

Testing Smoke Detector
Testing your smoke detector keeps you safe if a fire starts

How to Test my Smoke Detectors?

To test your smoke detectors you’ll first need to find where they are in the home.

According to the National Fire Protection Association you should have a smoke detector on every level of your home. Additionally, they are often located outside of bedrooms.

First, you’ll need to grab a stool or chair to stand on. Make sure the chair is stable and is capable of supporting your weight.

Next, press the test button to sound the alarm. Afterwards, take of the smoke detector cover and check the battery connection.

If there is corrosion on the battery contacts it means you need a new smoke detector.

Finally, if the alarm doesn’t sound when you press test it also means it’s time for a new smoke detector.

Luckily, Landry Mechanical’s Electrical experts are hear to help with smoke detector installation.

Carbon Monoxide poisoning kills 1200+ people per year.

How Often Should I Test My Carbon Monoxide Detectors?

Just like smoke detectors, Carbon Monoxide (CO) detectors should be tested on a monthly basis. However, twice a year works well too since CO detector batteries usually last 6 months on average.

According to mass.gov, you are required to have a CO detector on every level of your home that features a living space (Living room, den etc.).

 

Carbon Monoxide detectors usually have test buttons on the outside of the unit.

How to Test My Carbon Monoxide Detectors?

Once you find the CO detectors, hold down the test button until you hear the alarm or beeping.

If the alarm doesn’t sound, or you notice physical damage to the unit, it’s probably time for a replacement.

 

Our team at Landry Mechanical Inc Plumbing HVAC & Electric offers prompt and reliable carbon monoxide detector replacement services.

That way, your detectors are always in optimal working condition.

 

Conclusion

Smoke and Carbon Monoxide alarms prevent injury, death, and keep your home safe. These detectors are usually reliable, but don’t last indefinitely.

That’s why the Electrical Experts at Landry Mechanical are here to help.

From detector installation to routine safety checks “We Take COMFORT in YOUR comfort!”
