The cold air has finally entered the Southeastern, PA region, just in time for Christmas. Some of us are hoping for snow on the big day we gather to celebrate the birth of Christ. Others are envisioning a time when they are sprawled out on the beach again in the blazing sun with a romance novel. Either way, it’s winter-time in Pottstown, PA and many of us are dusting off the space heaters left in storage and plugging them in to keep warm. KB Electric LLC received a call today from a customer that needed his burnt outlet replaced. Upon arrival, we found out why the customer’s receptacle was burnt: he had a space heater plugged into it. Space heaters MUST be on a dedicated line to ensure proper safety of the unit and the safety of your home. If you use a space heater or are thinking about buying a space heater for a room in your home, please take the time to read this blog as we go into more depth about space heaters on a dedicated line. Please also refer to one of our previous blogs here to learn more about space heater safety. What Is a Dedicated Line?A dedicated line is a line that runs from your main electrical panel on its own circuit breaker to its own dedicated outlet/receptacle. This line/circuit is designated for only ONE appliance. Why Do Space Heaters Needs To Be On A Dedicated Line?The reason for a dedicated line is to not overload your electrical system because of its heavy electrical load that it produces. Dedicated lines prevent blown circuits and fuses, tripping breakers, electrical fires, overheating wires, and damage of appliances. Many appliances should have their own dedicated line and circuit breaker with dedicated outlet like refrigerators, microwaves, ranges, freezers, dryers, washing machines, space heaters, heaters, hot tubs, water pumps, sump pumps, A/C units, etc. (ANYTHING THAT DRAWS A LOT OF ELECTRICITY WHEN IN USE)Your space heater is an “appliance” that needs to be on its own circuit breaker and line with its own outlet/receptacle because it draws a lot of electricity. If the space heater shares a circuit with multiple things in use, it can overheat the wires, cause an electrical fire, damage the space heater, and burn your outlets. IT IS A FIRE HAZARD TO HAVE A SPACE HEATER SHARING A CIRCUIT WITH OTHER APPLIANCES/DEVICES. PLEASE BE AWARE OF THIS WHEN YOU ARE PLUGGING IN YOUR SPACE HEATER. Burnt Outlet From Space Heater Not On A Dedicated Line I Need a Dedicated Line For My Space Heater. Who Should I Call?A licensed and insured electrician should be the only professional to install a dedicated line for your space heater. A dedicated line for any appliance consists of a dedicated outlet, circuit breaker in your main electrical panel, and a dedicated wire/line running from your main panel to the dedicated outlet. An electrician has the hands-on experience to install dedicated lines, as well as the NEC knowledge to install them correctly and safely.Call KB Electric LLC today if you are in need of a dedicated line for your space heater. We are licensed and insured, family-owned and operated for over 15 years, and all of our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and perform continuing education classes to be versed in the latest NEC requirements.

We recently got a call from a customer this week who was in need of a dryer booster fan replacement. We realized we haven’t done a blog about one of these bad boys yet, so of course it was a no-brainer that we write one today! Let’s get right into what a dryer vent booster fan is, how it works, why you may need one, and who to call for installation. What Is A Dryer Booster Fan? A dryer vent booster fan is a fan that connects to your dryer duct to help increase airflow. The boost in airflow with a fan like this allows for the successful removal of built-up dryer lint in your ductwork, as well as efficient drying time of your clothing. How Do Dryer Booster Fans Work? Dryer booster fans utilize backward inclined blades to effectively pull air out of the duct while allowing for other debris like dryer lint to pass through. Do I Need A Dryer Vent Fan? You may need a booster fan for your dryer if you are experiencing long drying times, if your duct run for your dryer is over 25 feet long, or if your duct run for your dryer has multiple bends. If you are noticing that you need continual duct cleanouts from dryer lint and debris, you may also benefit from a booster fan for your dryer. Benefits of Dryer Booster FansExtended ventilation.Reduced drying time for your clothing.Reduced energy consumption since your dryer won’t be running as long. (50% or more!)Reduce fire hazard of lint build-up.You won’t need continuous duct cleanouts from a professional. (saves you cash!) Who Can Install My Dryer Booster Fan? Hire a professional who is licensed and insured to install your new dryer vent fan. The master electricians at KB Electric LLC can help install any and all types of booster fans for any ductwork. We are licensed and insured, versed in the NEC (National Electric Code), and our techs have the proper tools and equipment for safe installation. Call us today! (267)-467-3178.

KB Electric LLC has been doing EV charger installations for quite some time, and the calls keep coming in to get them done. Many EV owners purchase a level 2 charger and have one of our master electricians install it for them. There are two options when installing your level 2 EV charger: a hardwired vs plug-in EV charging installation. So, which is better? Let’s take a look at what a level 2 EV charger is, the two options for installing one, and which option KB Electric LLC recommends for installation.Before we dabble with the details, no matter the hardwired type or plug-in, EV chargers should be installed by a professional. KB Electric LLCalways recommends that a licensed and insured electrician installs your EV home charger, especially if it is hardwired. Hardwired EV Charging Installation – Tesla Charger What Is a Level 2 EV Charger?A Level 2 EV Charger utilizes a 240v outlet, also known as a NEMA 50r receptacle (when not hardwired). This outlet is the same as the one your clothing dryer uses (if you don’t have a hardwired dryer). Level 2 EV chargers can take up to 6.5 hours to fully charge the battery using a brand like the ClipperCreek LEVEL 2 HCS-40PR. For most brands of EVs, level 2 chargers are typically 3 to 5 times faster to fully charge the battery than a level 1 EV charger (utilizes a 120v outlet). There are so many brands of level 2 EV chargers on the market. Most of these EV chargers can be installed inside or outside of your garage. Most of the level 2 EV chargers can also be hardwired instead of plugged in using the 240v outlet. What does hardwiring your EV charger entail? Let’s go over it. Hardwired vs Plug-In EV Charging Installation HardwiredWith a hardwired EV charging installation, an electrician installs a dedicated 60AMP line from your main electrical panel to the desired EV charger location. At KB Electric LLC, we install a fire-rated backboard, as well as the NEC code required sub-panel to terminate power to the unit if needed. For this installation, the EV charging unit does not utilize a 240v outlet since it is hardwired into your main panel. Hardwired EV Charger Installation Plug-InWith a plug-in EV charging installation, an electrician installs a 240v outlet also known as a NEMA 50r receptacle, at the desired EV charger location to plug into. Plug-In EV Charger Installation – NEMA 50r (240v) Receptacle Plug-In EV Charger Installation – NEMA 50r (240v) Receptacle Should I Get A Hardwired or Plug-In EV Charger Installation?At all comes down to preference. Personally for the owner at KB Electric LLC, the hardwired option looks the cleanest. So you can say it all comes down to aesthetic appeal. Just take a look at the two pictures above in the hardwired section of this blog . The cord on the EV charger rolls up nicely, and you don’t have any wires hanging down. It also poses less of a trip hazard from the cord being left out. Either way, the hardwired or the plug-in EV charger install can be executed by the master electricians at KB Electric LLC.

This LED light wraps around the ring of the cup holder and is gentle on the eyes so as to not disturb your circadian rhythm. Fitting all types of drinkware, the Bedside Bearer is patent-pending, made in America, and installs to virtually all types of wall surfaces. But why a wall mounted cup holder you may ask? Isn’t that what my nightstand is for? Let’s give you a little background of how the Bedside Bearer came to fruition, describe how it works, the goal of the product, and the vision of the company behind this patent-pending invention. How The Bedside Bearer All BeganFirst of all, let’s explain why KB Electric LLC is blogging about the Bedside Bearer to begin with. Not only is it an electrical innovation that deals with LED fiber optics and is a first of its kind, but the owner of KB Electric LLC created it. That’s right! Owner and operator, Keith Busby of KB Electric LLC came up with this invention while laying in bed one night. If you know Keith like I do (because I’m his wife), you know that he constantly spills his glass of water onto his nightstand and floor in the middle of the night. He can’t see in the pitch black of the night, and constantly fumbles around looking for his cup of water to quench his dry mouth. The dropped glasses of water was so bad that while moving our old furniture into our new home, Keith noticed mold on the back of his nightstand. This is no joke.So, we laid there and after the thousandth time of spilling his water onto the floor, the lightbulb clicked on. “I need a cup holder with a light on it!” After the idea came to him, Keith called up his buddy, Kevin and they decided to create the one-of-a-kind invention. After three years of development and research and three prototypes later, the Bedside Bearer is patent-pending and almost ready for production. Why The Bedside Bearer?Made in America!Declutters your nightstand, giving you more space for books, reading glasses, tissues, iPad, mouth guard, smart phone, alarm clock, etc. (LESS CHANCE FOR SPILLS!)Perfect for quenching the thirst in the morning and in the middle of the night.Your drink can hang on your wall in smaller spaces without a nightstand.The illumination from the Bedside Bearer won’t wake your spouse, and you won’t need to turn on any bedroom lights.Gentle LED fiber optic light won’t disrupt circadian rhythm. Versatile: The Bedside Bearer isn’t justfor bedrooms. It can accommodate any space with minimal furniture like your garage/shed, RV camper, small living room, etc.Perfect gift ideas for anyone!Fits a wide variety of drinkware.Sleek design complements any home decor. How Does The Bedside Bearer Work?Once you attach your Bedside Bearer to any flat wall surface, you are all set for the Bedside Bearer to hold any type of drinkware. This motion-activated LED fiber optic cup holder operates with 2 AAA batteries. Just wave your hand in the vicinity of the cup holder, and the gentle LED light turns on via a motion sensor. The LED fiber optic light featured on the ring has a soft glow and is gentle on the eyes. It will give enough light to see your cup without disturbing or waking up your partner. Giving BackThe Bedside Bearer simplifies needing a drink at night, but there are many around the world who do not have access to any water at all, day or night. That is why 5% of the profits will go towards World Vision. This non-profit creates wells for people who need clean drinking water. Where Can I Buy a Bedside Bearer?The kickstarter page to help with funding for the production of the Bedside Bearer is coming soon! Check out the website for more info: bedsidebearer.comPlease send the company an email if you are interested in buying a Bedside Bearer and for up-to-date information about the process of its development.

If you are in need of a LED strobe light smoke alarm installation, the electricians at KB Electric LLC can hook you up! We provide any and all smoke alarm installations for anyone residing in the Montgomery County, PA area, as well as Berks, Bucks, Chester, and Delaware, PA counties. LED Strobe Light Smoke Alarm What Is A LED Strobe Light Smoke Alarm? A LED strobe light smoke alarm is a type of smoke detector for the hearing impaired. Just like a common smoke detector, the LED strobe light smoke detector can detect smoke, heat, and CO. The LED strobe light smoke alarm works by using a photoelectric sensor that alerts the homeowner of the danger, emitting a flashing light via a smart strobe. There are usually two types of different flashing patterns to distinguish between smoke and carbon monoxide.A common brand for this would the First Alert Hardwired LED Strobe Light Smoke Alarm with 10-Year Sealed Battery – 7020BSL (just a smoke detector), and the First Alert Hardwired Smoke & CO Alarm with LED Strobe Light and 10-Year Sealed Battery – 7030BSL (smoke and CO combination detector).Most LED strobe light smoke/CO alarms can be hardwired and interconnected. What Is a LED Strobe Light Device?There are also LED strobe light devices that aren’t smoke detectors, but are just devices that signal a light pattern.
