💡 With sunset arriving earlier in the fall, outdoor lighting becomes more important.

Now's a great time to check:
✔ Walkway lights
✔ Garage lights
✔ Motion lights
✔ Porch lights

Replacing burned-out bulbs and testing fixtures now can make your home safer before winter arrives.

🍂 Leaves can collect around exterior electrical equipment, generators, and outdoor outlets.

While you're cleaning up the yard this fall, take a minute to clear debris away from electrical equipment too.

Keeping these areas clean helps improve accessibility and makes visual inspections easier.

Just another helpful tip from Your Colorado Electrician 💡

⚡ Your electrical system may be giving you warning signs. Are you noticing them?

Whether your home has aluminum or copper wiring, these symptoms deserve attention:
💡 Warm or discolored outlets and switch plates
💡 Flickering lights
💡 Breakers that trip frequently
💡 Burning or unusual electrical smells
💡 Crackling or buzzing near switches or outlets
💡 Outlets or switches that work intermittently
💡 Previous electrical repairs or modifications you’re unsure about

These signs can point to an electrical issue that needs a closer look.

And because the source of the problem isn’t always visible, CIES can use tools like thermal imaging to help identify abnormal heat and determine where further investigation may be needed.

Don’t wait for a small warning sign to become a bigger electrical problem.

💡 Many homeowners remember to change their smoke detector batteries, but forget to actually test them.

It only takes a few seconds.

We recommend you set a monthly reminder on your calendar to:
✔ Test every smoke detector
✔ Replace batteries if needed
✔ Check expiration dates (most detectors last about 10 years)

It's one of the easiest ways to improve your home's safety.

If your Colorado home was built or renovated in the 1960s or 1970s, aluminum wiring may still be part of its electrical system. 🏡⚡

That alone isn’t necessarily cause for concern. What matters is the condition of the wiring and its connections.

Over time, expansion and contraction, oxidation, or loose connections can increase electrical resistance—and increased resistance can generate heat.

Thermal imaging is one of the tools CIES can use during an electrical evaluation to identify unusual heat patterns and help determine where a closer look may be needed.

So, how does it work—and does finding aluminum wiring mean you need to rewire your entire home?

Did you know CIES is an approved Home Depot Pro referral? 🛠️

Paul reached out through the HD Referral program to have his dining room light swapped for a ceiling fan, which included upgrading the mounting box to safely support the fan’s weight. Justin also replaced a patio light and completed a partial panel rehab while on site.

Thank you, Paul, for trusting CIES with your home and for taking the time to share your experience!

The short answer?

Not always.

🔌Power strips are great for low-power electronics like TVs and computers.

They are not designed for:
• Space heaters
• Microwaves
• Refrigerators
• Window AC units

High-wattage appliances should always have their own properly rated outlet. Unsure how to power your devices and appliances? 📲 Give us a call or shoot over a text to 720.352.8656.
