Although you hardly ever realize that, electricity is a silent assassin that is waiting for the correct conditions in order to attack. If it is not correctly handled all of the time, it may strike sooner than you expect.
If there are any signs of wear and tear, inspections should be done even more often. It is more cost effective to prevent an electrical problem than to pay for an emergency electrical repair once damage occurs.
Residential properties need the following devices to be installed in order to make sure that all electrical safety requirements are met:


Smoke and fire safety alarms


Safety switches/ Modern circuit breakers


Surge diverter

    Mike, I have 2 rooms (living room and dining room) that have ceiling lights only. I want to change this to ceiling lights with fans on both. How do I find out what size or wattage i can use for ceiling fan/lights?

      Hello, @Rusti Usually ceiling fans work at 75 watts but if you want to be completely sure about this you have to check out the label on your ceiling fan.
