Have you driven by, had repair, gassed up or had a car wash from Bobby & Steve's Auto World? Just about everyone I bet! As luck would have it, MJ Electric was fortunate enough to do some repair work for Bobby and Steve's. So the next time you get a car wash, you can rest easy knowing that everything should be in good working order. Gas with class. ;)

The power requirements of retail stores change depending with the store. Some may need complicated light displays, while others might need sound systems, not to mention computer systems. Depending on your specifications, a commercial electrical contractor can make sure you have the power you need.

Many commercial machines require large amounts of power to run. For example, the high-capacity laundry machines in hotels, or the high-powered dishwashing machines in restaurants. Commercial electric contractors know how to set up systems perfectly to handle the heavy load.

Blown fuses or tripped circuits, while sometimes an annoyance, are safety measures designed to protect people and pets from electrocution. Most circuits trip at one time or another because of an overload or surge; however, when a circuit is constantly breaking, it is a sign of a problem that needs to be corrected.

All of the electric systems in the US must conform to the National Electrical Code, or NEC, and that includes commercial systems. This was originally published in 1897, with the most recent version published in 2011. An experienced electrical contractor can make sure your business is up to code.

What is EMI? It stands for "electromagnetic interference," and it refers to signal disruption or “noise” superimposed onto electrical power supplies, data lines, or signal lines. In commercial settings, EMI is often caused by improper wiring, fluorescent lights or improperly shielded electronic devices.

You many know that pilots can’t be colorblind because good color vision is needed to read instrument panels. But did you know that this is also required for electricians? Electrical systems use wires of different colors, and the electrician must be able to tell them apart when working.

The first codes regulating electrical lighting and power distribution were issued in 1881 in New York. The first set of national standards was finally established in 1897, when the National Fire Protection Association released the National Electrical Code (NEC).

Besides an obvious sign of water infiltration like rust, there is another indicator that may be present if rust is not. If there is paper labeling inside the circuit breaker box, look for water stains on it – a sure sign of moisture.

In new construction, wiring is installed before walls and floors are finished. In existing homes, electricians have to work to get power to the right locations. Wires are often run in crawl spaces, attics, and basements, but it’s called “fishing” when they’re run behind finished walls.

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) can disrupt wireless computer and phone connections, causing static and noise on the line. Damaged wiring, improper connections, or poorly shielded wiring may be producing electrical interferences and current imbalances.
