More Power, More Protection
Home electrical appliances such as refrigerators, dryers, and water heaters are now being designed to operate much more efficiently than in the past. However, if you add in a houseful of blow dryers, microwaves, hot tubs, coffee pots, computers, and big screen TVs, total power consumption in the typical home is way up.
If you live in an older home with a fuse box, or even a newer home with the minimum 100-amp circuit breaker panel box, you may not have sufficient service to feed all these hungry electrical appliances.
Circuit breakers offer many benefits. They’re easily reset (once the cause for tripping is corrected!). Circuit breaker panels also allow the use of a special type of breaker, the ground fault circuit interrupter. The GFCI breaker is used on electrical circuits that send power to bathrooms and outdoor sockets and appliances. Designed to trip at the first hint of a problem, these breakers have saved countless thousands from electrocution.

The Benefits of a Ceiling Fan
The popularity of ceiling fans continues to grow even today, and there are many reasons.
We all know how well a ceiling fan can cool a room, but today’s fans also work well in distributing warm air, too. That’s because they come equipped with a single switch that changes the direction of the fan blades. This “backwards” rotation allows the fan to pull cool air from the center of the room up, forcing it out across the ceiling, and pushing the warm air down from the ceiling into the room.
Although it requires electricity to power a ceiling fan, the greatly improved distribution of air, whether cool or warm, typically causes a net reduction in utility costs because the primary heating and cooling systems don’t have to work as hard.
Fans are now available to complement almost any décor, and many people simply enjoy the soothing sound and relaxing atmosphere created by the spinning blades.
Ceiling Fan Installation
Who do you call when you want a ceiling fan installed in your home? An electrician? An HVAC company? The local handyman?
Metro Maintenance is your best choice. We’ve hung and wired ceiling fans for hundreds of satisfied homeowners. Sometimes it’s as simple as replacing a light and a switch. Other times, a new installation may require additional bracing in the ceiling, new wiring fished through the ceiling and walls, maybe even a new switch box.
Either way, if you’re looking for a neat, safe and professional ceiling fan installation, call us today.
