Lighting transforms a space – let us help your transformation begin!

C5 Electric wants to help brighten your home this holiday season. Do you have a dark hallway? Closet too dim? Old fixtures can make a space feel dated and dull, but new can-lights or LED fixtures will enhance a room.

Check out the before and after photo of a master bedroom overhaul C5 Electric helped with. 7 new can-lights on a dimmer switch, were paired with a modern LED ceiling fan/light, bringing new life to the space.

Don’t let the lack of exterior outlets on your home put a damper on your Christmas decorating. There is no need to run 20 extension cords when C5 Electric can install exterior outlets allowing you to power all the Christmas lights you desire.

In the words of Clark Griswold “We’re gonna have the hap-hap-happies Christmas!”

Well time flies when you’re having fun and we are always having fun at C5 Electric ! So many new exciting things since we’ve updated our posts (so long ago!!!) but the most exciting news is the fact that we’ve grown from one man and a truck to 3 men and two trucks!!

When is the last time the smoke detectors in your home were checked? According to the U.S. Fire Administration smoke detectors should be replaced every 10 years.

Some alarming statistics on fire alarm importance:

• Three out of five home fire deaths result from fires in properties without working smoke alarms
• More than one-third (38 percent) of home fire deaths result from fires in which no smoke alarms are present.
• The risk of dying in a home fire is cut in half in homes with working smoke alarms.

Check the manufacturing dates on your fire alarms and call C5 Electric today to schedule a time for our team to replace the old smoke detectors in your home. Ensuring that every bedroom has a smoke detector, there is one outside each separate sleeping area, and one on every level of the home, including basements, is also essential for your family’s safety. Give us a call and sleep better knowing you’re keeping your family safe.

Reason #1. Safety- Electrical work can be dangerous and wiring done incorrectly can lead to hazardous situations. You and your family’s safety is not worth the risk- call a professional who is trained thoroughly in safely regulations.

Reason#2. Prevent Future Headaches- Some people believe by doing the work themselves, they will save on money and expedite their project. The truth is, that when you hire a professional the job will be done right the first time and you will avoid problems down the road. A licensed electrician knows the electrical and building codes to ensure safety and quality of installation.

Reason #3. Protect Your Home- Don’t cut corners when it comes to electrical projects. Faulty wiring, bad outlets, and arching devices/connections generate heat that will melt your wires and lead to a house fire. If your work was not completed by a licensed professional your home owners insurance may not cover the loss. Choose an electrician who is licensed and insured to best protect your home.
