When summertime temperatures are on the rise, so is the strain on a household’s electrical system. Many households are already putting their older electrical systems through heavy use by charging a full array of televisions, computers, gaming systems, stereos, or electronics chargers—add to that a constantly running air conditioner and fans and an electrical system can start to show signs of being stretched to the limit. The experienced professionals from Berk Trade & Business School in Long Island City, NY, know electrical systems inside and out, particularly well as they train electricians at the adult education technical school.

The electricians at Berk Trade & Business School recommend making an appointment with an electrician in order to prepare a home for the strains of family’s summertime energy needs. Fans (and portable systems like swamp coolers) can add stress to an electrical system; a check from a well-trained electrician can ensure that the system is set up to handle the demands of the season.

Not only can an electrician check a system, but they can also help to upgrade one. An electrician can wire an outdoor space to make it comfortable for entertaining—for example, adding lights to illuminate a back deck, lawn or patio, lighting along pathways to make it safe to walk through a back yard, or adding outdoor speakers perfect for outdoor entertaining. Berk Trade & Business School is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges in the fields of plumbing, electrical, and automotive trades; classes are kept small and there is also a placement program offered.
