How Hard Water Impacts Houston Water Heaters (And When to Replace Them)
Houston is known for its energy industry, diverse culture, and, unfortunately, its notoriously hard water. While this mineral-rich water might not pose immediate health risks
This May is National Electrical Safety Month (NESM), an annual campaign established to encourage electrical safety in the home, school and workplace. Universal Home Experts are big proponents of electrical safety and are joining in the crusade to ensure the protection of our Houston neighbors. The Electrical Safety Foundation (ESFI), one of the major sponsors of NESM, is a comprehensive source for electrical safety. Every year they release numerous resources for communities, schools and organizations to use and distribute. One of their topics this year is the newest version of the National Electrical Code (NEC).
Updated every three years and adopted by all 50 states, the NEC is the standard for safe electrical practices. It acts as a guide for proper electrical installation, inspection and use to “protect people and property from avoidable electrical hazards.” Universal electricians stay on top of all the code revisions, which have been updated again this year. They inform all decisions on electrical repairs and installations – and electrical requirements for new builds and renovations. If you are a home or business owner, it is important to understand how the code works and how it impacts all aspects of an electrical system.
