Electrical Services in District of Columbia (DC) Cities

When installing light fixtures or ceiling fans the harness and box that they are being placed on need to be completely secured to the ceiling or wall. You do not want it to fall and hurt someone, or worse fall and cause a wire because the wires came apart. Make sure the boxes and harnesses are approved for the area.

Whenever you are working on something electrically make sure the breaker is off or the fuse is pulled. Just because the switch is turned off does not mean it is not getting power anymore. Safety is always an issue when it comes to electricity, so make sure it is completely off before you start.

Electricity is a wonderful thing, when used properly. When going to change a light bulb or rewire something make sure that you are grounded by wearing rubber soled shoes and insulated tools. This will prevent you from becoming a conductor for the electricity and turning you into a circuit.
