Exterior lighting is extremely important and can help you keep your home safe and secure by lighting up dark areas that are susceptible to intruders. Motion detectors will light up the area when anyone passes by. Illuminating paths and driveways can prevent accidents and make your home more secure. Proper exterior lighting is also essential if you spend time outdoors after dark. If you have parties outside at night you may consider lighting up a barbeque area or your pool. Landscape lighting is also a fantastic way to showcase the exterior architectural features of your home and property at night. You can use light in a creative and artistic way to accent certain elements and to dramatize and highlight your landscaping. 12-Gauge Electric can help you determine the best way to light the outside of your home to keep it safe and beautiful.

Carbon Monoxide Detectors
A carbon monoxide detector (aka CO detector) is a device that detects the presence of the carbon monoxide (CO) gas. Carbon monoxide is a colorless and odorless gas that is undetectable without a carbon monoxide detector. For this reason it is referred to as the "silent killer.” Carbon monoxide detectors measure CO levels and sound an alarm before CO reaches dangerous levels, giving people enough warning to ventilate or evacuate the area.
