Residential Standby Generator
South Florida is constantly hit with a stream of tropical storms and hurricanes. These massive storms can knock a home generator system out, causing the house to completely lose power. A portable generator can only run for around eight hours before needing to be refueled. Fuel is hard to find when a hurricane hits, and portable generators can only run two or three appliances at a time. Standby generators are a perfect safety net for when the first generator goes down. A standby generator is able to constantly power the entire house for extended periods of time. Rack Electric is able to quickly and efficiently install one, so your house is prepared for Hurricane Season.

Lighting Fixture Installation
The right kind of lighting fixtures is essential for completing any room. An electrician in Port St. Lucie would need to perform this job in order to provide professional work. The electrician would begin by checking the voltage with a voltage detector. This device tests the presence of electricity in a piece of equipment. Using a wire bolt cutter, the electrician can shorten screws without running the threads. Next, the individual will extend short wires with an extra wire connected stab-in which needs to be the correct size. A box extender will then be placed over the old box behind the wall surface. This is common when a layer of wood or drywall has been installed over the original ceiling. The electrician will then bend a scrap of wire to support the fixture as the device is being installed. A screw is then aligned with a thin screwdriver to hold the fixture’s canopy in place.

Install and Maintain Wiring
Electrical wiring is an electrical installation of cabling and is associated with devices such as switches, distribution boards, and lighting fittings in a structure. In most modern homes a nonmetallic metal wiring is used to wire a home. The wires are wrapped inside a plastic sheathing. The proper wire size is essential to any electrical wire installation. The correct size of the wire will indicate the diameter of the metal which is based on the American Wire Gauge system. Wiring is used to run many appliances and fixtures in a household and allows systems to run efficiently. Extension cords, cooktops, light fixtures and lamp cords all use a certain type of wire Gauge and allow these devices to function properly. Our Port St. Lucie electricians can help you wire your home or business.

Electric cars have become more popular as the gasoline prices continue to rise. While electric charging is less costly to the environment, it has struggled to be as convenient as gas-fueled vehicles. Over time, charging stations in the Port St. Lucie area have created a more electric vehicle-friendly roadway. Electric Vehicles (EV) can be charged from any household outlet. However, this tends to take a while. Instead of waiting, we recommend a 240-volt EV charging station in the Port St. Lucie area designed for charging electric vehicles quickly and efficiently. This will help minimize downtime and allow electric vehicle owners to stay mobile while going green.

Adapters provide electric vehicles the opportunity to charge anywhere at any time. NEMA 5-15 adapters allow for the usual 110-volt outlet to be used while the NEMA 14-50 permits vehicles to hook up to the larger 240-volt outlets. Normally an electric vehicle will charge 29 miles of range per hour, but this can be increased by wall connectors. A wall connector can offer around 52 miles of range per hour of charging.

Residential Charging
Residential EV charging stations are some of the most convenient and cost-efficient methods of charging an EV.

Homeowners can charge their car while having dinner or sleeping. Then their car can be fully charged for the next day without having to stop in the middle of a commute. An EV charging station can be installed in a garage or in a carport and costs less than using a public charging station. Charging stations use less power than an air conditioning unit and aren’t needed as often.

Commercial Charging
An EV charging station is a good investment for a commercial property. Installing EV charging stations for a commercial building can potentially add to its overall value. The eco-friendly building industry continues to rise, prompting building owners to include more energy saving options.
