Looking for a way to stay comfortable and save money all year round? Who isn’t? As qualified electricians at the Lake of the Ozarks we have the honor of being certified installers for Big Ass Fans , and they are absolutely incredible! We have installed countless of these fans around the Lake of the Ozarks for outdoor restaurants and other commercial locations, and our clients (and their clients) love them!  What is Different?

That’s because the hot air gets circulated and moved around, cooling the space much more efficiently. Most of our clients think about the fans for summertime use, but we encourage everyone to keep in mind the energy savings opportunity you have in the winter as well. If you would like to he...

So in today’s blog, we would like to talk to you about a few safety tips when it comes to electricity at your home. So keep reading to catch a few ideas to keep yourself and your family safe.
