Find Out About the Stealth Green Energy Movement – Ask Your Los Angeles Electrician

Sometimes the bad news about energy and the environment in the media can be overwhelming. Good news tends to get pushed aside in favor of spectacular disasters. Yet, every day in towns and cities across America, people are working on green energy projects that both help the environment and save money. This shouldn’t be a surprise — survey after survey has found that most Americans are concerned about the environment, and most cities today are scrambling to save money.

Good news tends to get pushed aside in favor of spectacular disasters. Yet, every day in towns and cities across America, people are working on green energy projects that both help the environment and save money. This shouldn’t be a surprise — survey after survey has found that most Americans are concerned about the environment, and most cities today are scrambling to save money.
Energy Saving Light Bulbs in Street Lights. Replacing conventional incandescent electric bulbs with LED bulbs in street lights is one popular green energy project. In the largest such project in the world, Los Angeles is replacing the bulbs of 140,000 street lights. The LED bulbs use considerably less electricity, creating not only money savings but also savings in the oil and coal needed to generate electricity. When complete, the project will save the City $10 million each year. Of that, $2.5 million will be saved on maintenance costs and $7.5 million in electrical usage. The project will also reduce carbon emissions from electric generation by 40,500 tons per year. That’s like taking 6,700 cars off L.A. streets for the life of the bulbs — every year for 10 or so years.
L.A. City engineers originally hoped that the LED bulbs would save 40% on electric bills. When they measured the savings of switching over the first 20,000 bulbs, they were pleasantly surprised to find that the savings on electricity was more like 55%. The City has also found that the LED lights create brighter and more uniform visibility, reducing pockets of dark shadow that conventional street lights tend to leave.
L.A. Mayor Villaraigosa commented proudly, “We’re seeing L.A. lead the way.” The project is being funded, in part, by Federal stimulus dollars as well as the Clinton Foundation. Sarah Potts of the Clinton Foundation said, “The Clinton Climate Initiative was excited to work on this project mainly because L.A. was willing to be a mover on this. They were willing to set the bar for where energy efficiency street lighting could and should go.”
However, L.A. is not alone. This type of green street lighting project is being undertaken from Ann Arbor, Michigan, to towns in Northern California, where PG&E, the electric utility, gives rate breaks and rebates to its street light customers who switch over to LED bulbs.
Green Energy Projects at Home. We don’t have to wait for government projects before we can start saving money by helping the environment. If you want to go greener in your own home or business, you can take steps that range from quick and simple to more ambitious:
1) Replace the bulbs in your home with compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs). Today’s fluorescents fit into regular lamps and fixtures, come in a range of warm colors, and save electricity. While CFL bulbs cost more at the supermarket, they last longer than old-fashioned incandescents, and so cost less over their lifetimes. You can start by buying a four-pack on your next trip for groceries. Unscrew the bulbs in the light fixtures you use most often and screw in the new bulbs. It’s that simple. If you have any questions, you can call The Electric Connection, your Los Angeles electrician.
2) Install a ceiling fan. Ceiling fans are very efficient when it comes to cooling a room. Set your thermostat for the air conditioner 2 degrees higher than usual, turn on your ceiling fan, and you’re achieving the usual cooling effect while saving money and electricity.
3) Here’s a more ambitious green step. Make your next car an electric hybrid or all-electric. Electric vehicles reduce our dependence on foreign oil — 60% of our oil imports are burned in our vehicles. Electric vehicles are available today that are competitively priced, convenient, and also give you the benefit of freeing you from the ups and downs of gas prices while enjoying the satisfaction of helping the environment. When you’re ready to make the move, keep in mind that The Electric Connection, a fully licensed and bonded electrician in Los Angeles CA, installs electric vehicle chargers.
If you see solar panels on some of the buildings in your town or if you’ve purchased an Energy Star appliance or installed compact fluorescents in your light fixtures, you and your town are part of the green energy movement that is quietly growing throughout our country.

We at The Electric Connection are proud to be among the leading electricians in Los Angeles. We have been licensed electrical contractors in L.A. since 1979.

Here's a Handy-Dandy Guide to the Los Angeles area for your use. Over on the left we've listed contact info for key community services and attractions.

If you wish to easily return to this guide to L.A., you can bookmark it in your "Favorites."



About

Los Angeles is one of the most culturally diverse cities in the country. About 40% of our population speaks Spanish at home. L.A. also has its own Koreatown, Little Tokyo, Little Armenia, the Fairfax Jewish area, and many other ethnic enclaves.

The population of the city itself is a little over 4 million people while that of Los Angeles County is a little over 10 million. Los Angeles County includes over 4,752 square miles of land and water. It includes 88 cities, among others: the City of Los Angeles, Burbank, Malibu, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Long Beach, Pasadena, Monterey Park, San Marino, Century City, Santa Monica, and Torrance.


Sports

Los Angeles is a World Class city when it comes to teams and sporting events. Los Angeles teams include the Los Angeles Dodgers (baseball), Los Angeles Lakers (basketball), Los Angeles Clippers (basketball), Los Angeles Kings (ice hockey), LA Galaxy (soccer), UCLA Bruins (college football), and USC Trojans (college football).

Los Angeles is the scene of the one of the biggest cross-town college football rivalries, the USC Trojans versus the UCLA Bruins.

Los Angeles is also home to the Pasadena Rose Bowl, the stadium where every New Year's Day, two of the top national professional football teams match up in the bowl game that's The Grand-Daddy of Them All. This game comes on the heels of the famed Rose Parade. The parade is a procession of floats decorated with millions of flower petals. It also features celebrities, marching bands, dancers, and fireworks.

Los Angeles hosts sporting events at a number of stadiums including Dodgers Stadium, Staples Center, and the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, home to the USC Trojans football team.


Arts

The part of the City of Los Angeles that the world knows as "Hollywood," is still the center of English-language film-making. As you drive through Hollywood and also North Hollywood and through the City of Burbank, you can see the large warehouse-like studios where movies and TV shows are produced and even today, shot.

Many movie stars make their homes in Los Angeles County, especially in the part of the City of L.A. called "the Hollywood Hills," and the cities of Malibu, Beverly Hills, and Bel Aire. Of course, Los Angeles also hosts the annual Academy Awards show which is hosted by L.A.'s Kodak Theater and broadcast to millions around the world.

Little Theaters dot our neighborhoods. World-class plays and concerts are performed in the many larger theaters and auditoriums throughout L.A. These include among others:

Employment - Work as an Electrician

Becoming a Los Angeles Electrician

If you aren't an electrician, but would like to become one, you can get started in a variety of ways. One way is to enroll in an electrical apprenticeship program. In an electrical apprenticeship program, you work and study for several years while being paid a limited amount. Click here for information about electrical apprenticeship programs in Los Angeles.

You can also start by going to a trade school for electricians. Click here to find a trade school for electricians in L.A.

Some electricians get their start by finding a job as an electrical helper that requires no experience or training. But experience and study of electrical theory and the National Electrical Code are necessary for the next step - becoming a journeyman, an electrician who can work without immediate supervision.

If you want to run your own business as a Los Angeles electrician, you'll need to become a licensed electrical contractor. This requires passing a licensing exam administered by the Contractors State License Board. Many special schools offer assistance in studying for the licensing exam. Once you are an electrical contractor, you can be your own boss and earn a higher income.
