Electrical Articles

The electrical wiring in your Washington home is mostly out of sight and likely out of mind, even though you use it every day.

When it comes to lighting up your Bellingham, home or business, the humble light switch plays a big role. Although you probably use them every day without a second thought, light switches come in a variety of types, each serving different needs.

This silent workhorse is easy to overlook, but you cannot power your home without it. Like any critical home system or appliance, it can become outdated and incapable of doing its job efficiently. It may not be able to handle increased electrical load or safely supply the power you need.

Are you ready to join the electrification movement?

Your Washington home may need more power as you replace fossil fuel-burning heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment and kitchen appliances with electric ones.

You probably do not give much thought to the electricity in your Bellingham home––until it goes out or you have a problem with it. If this is the case, you are in a majority.

At West Mechanical, we strive to keep our Friday Harbor customers educated and informed about the latest trends and changes in the plumbing, electrical, and HVAC industries. We value the trust you place in us and promise to work hard to keep your business!

In today’s world of do-it-yourself everything, where answers to all questions seem only a Google search away, it’s easy to be tempted to take on things that may be out of our range of experience. Although this can be a way to learn new skills, the area of electrical work should always be left to a qualified electrician. Tackling electrical maintenance or repairs without professional training can cause serious injury or death as well as lead to things like fire hazards in your Bellingham home.
