Below The Fold
By Martha Woodward
Need the name of a good electrician? One who will do good work for a reasonable fee? I found one, and boy, am I glad.Well, actually, my son met the man through his job, but I get to enjoy the savings. Ed Hurley, owner of Advanced Electric, Inc. of 1716 Sixth Avenue, has been working in the electrical business for over 35 years. He is licensed, bonded, and carries liability insurance. He will stop by your place and make an estimate on the cost of the job for free, but he does charge $100 for responding to emergencies. He does wiring, remodeling, installation of heaters, repairs, and anything you might need in the way of electrical needs. He has worked on new homes and spends a lot of time in older homes which are in need of electrical updating.
Helpful safety tips
Submitted by D. Corcoran
Here are some good tips to prevent a fire, or death if alternative heating sources are used. Fireplace: •Make sure you use a fire screen in front of your fire to keep embers from popping out causing a fire. •Keep at least a three foot air space in front of your fireplace. •Burn seasoned wood, don't burn green wood, green wood is more likely to create build up in your chimney that can later cause a chimney fire. •Make sure your flue works properly so the smoke goes up the chimney like it should. Power Outage: •Should the power go out, remember to turn off previously powered items, such as stoves, electric heaters. If the power is restored and no one is home, you don't want these appliances unattended.
