At Oliver, we love learning new things about the world of electricity. Our electrical repair experts did some research and found some interesting facts you may not know. Check them out: 1. Electricity travels at the speed of light, which is 186,000 miles per second. 2. Before electricity was a way of life, ancient Egyptians were aware that lightning and shocks from electric fish were very powerful. They used to refer to these fish as the Thunderers of the Nile.... 3. Electricity can be created using water, wind, the sun, and even animal waste. 4. When lightning strikes, it flows from the cloud to the ground, but the part we see is actually the charge going from the ground back up into the cloud. 5. Electricity is sometimes used as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), where patients are given electrically induced seizures in order to treat psychiatric illnesses. 6. In the 1880’s, there was a war of currents between Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison. Tesla helped invent AC current and Edison helped invent DC current, and both wanted their currents to be popularized. AC won the battle because it’s safer and can be used over longer distances. 7. Iceland is the country that uses the most electricity annually. Their consumption is about 23% more than the U.S. 8. Static electricity occurs when the electrons from one object jump to another object. 9. The world’s biggest light bulb is located in Edison, New Jersey. It’s 14 feet tall, weighs eight tons, and sits on top of the Thomas Edison Memorial Tower. 10. The average U.S. home uses 11,000 kWh of electricity every year. 11. The first central power plant in the U.S. was Pearl Station, in Manhattan. It was built in 1882 and served 85 customers. 12. Electricity travels in closed loops called circuits. It must have a complete path before the electrons can move. If a circuit is open, electrons can’t flow. 13. Electricity is present in our bodies our nerve cells use it to pass signals to our muscles.

Call an Electrician If Something Doesn’t Seem Right If you notice something doesn’t seem right with the electrical system in your home, be sure to call a professional electrician right away. Warm outlets, frequent problems with blown fuses, tripping circuits, or flickering and dimming lights are all signs of an underlying electrical issue.

Don’t Overload Outlets Have you ever tripped a circuit breaker from using too many high-wattage appliances at once? Not only can this damage your appliances, but it can cause an electrical fire. One of the most important electrical safety tips homeowners can follow is avoiding overloading outlets and making sure only one high-wattage appliance or electronic is used per outlet.

Keep an eye on the lights Flickering lights could mean you need to repair or replace your electrical panel, or you have too many appliances plugged into one circuit. Don’t ignore this issue.

Understand the breakers These guys are your friends, even though you may find their interference irritating when they trip. They’re trying to tell you something, and it’s usually that you have too many appliances or gadgets connected to the same circuit. Reconfigure your appliances, and if the breakers keep tripping, get help from an electrician.
