Generating Some Buzz

Long Islanders have seen their fair share of storms. As power companies struggle to restore power outages after a storm, many Long Islanders find themselves powerless in the dark. Electricity is no longer a luxury; it is a necessity that many take for granted. With hurricane season well underway, now is the perfect time to invest in a generator from TFC Electric. Having a generator ensures that you will have power during an outage.

Generators are not only used when powerful storms sweep the island. When a tree haphazardly falls and takes down a power line, it could take days or even weeks for companies to restore power in your area. While your neighbors are still in the dark, your generator supplies you with enough electricity to run the appliances you use on a daily basis.

At TFC Electric, we have stationery and portable generators. Portable generators are great for people who go camping or travel often. Stationery generators are manual or automatic. Manual generators require the homeowner to switch the ‘Power Transfer System’ option on. Conversely, automatic generators turn on immediately once the power goes out.
Since we carry a wide variety of generators, we can help you make an educated decision on which generator is best for your particular home. Generators help homeowners avoid the headache that a power outage brings. It is no wonder why generators are starting to generate some buzz on Long Island. Give us a call at 631-589-2800 and you’ll be on a power trip in no time!

When It Comes To Electrical Work, Don’t DIY

Electrical work should always be left to the professionals. Below are some valid reasons why you should never DIY when it comes to electrical work.

Electrical Safety Tips for the Dog Days of Summer

The summer is the perfect time for your kids to enjoy nature. Before you let them frolic in the great outdoors, it’s good to go over a few ground rules with them. Here are some great summer electrical safety tips to ensure their safety.
It’s Not the Climb 
Kids love to climb.  However, children should not climb utility poles. It can be extremely dangerous and hazardous to your health when the power lines are active. Stay far away from power lines that are down and report it to the local authorities.
Tread the Water
Some kids can spend countless hours in the pool on a hot summer’s day. Make sure your kids know the dangers of using an electrical appliance while in the pool. Touching an electrical appliance while still in the pool or wet could end in electrocution.
When It Rains, It Pours
Long Island is not a stranger to storms. Lightning is extremely dangerous; especially when you are in the pool. Teach your kids to get out of the pool immediately if there is a storm brewing on the horizon. After all, it’s better to be safe than sorry.
