Electrical Issue II

Mike from Eric Electric came over yesterday to check out our bulb-failure issue.

He checked all the switches and outlets to see if any of the wires were loose. None were. He checked the voltage and it was a steady 121V. We have good electricity in Milwaukee.

A remaining variable was the bulbs. He replaced all of the standard incandescent floods with halogens. It's a more robust bulb with a longer design (2,500hrs vs 2,000)life. A bad batch of bulbs could have happened, but it is not a satisfying solution to the problem.

Mike was very helpful and resolved a couple other issues I had. We will see what happens.

Hopefully this is the end of it.

Electrical Issue?

I may have an electrical issue...

Matt—I have forwarded your e-mail to our electrician on the project, along with your phone numbers to get in touch with you…Let me know if you do not hear from him in the next few days. I will also follow up with him….Jill

Jill--

I have replaced 8 bulbs in the kitchen, one of the small ones above the prep sink, one on the hood, and 5 of the larger ones, one of those twice.

This doesn't seem right to me. I know that an underlying wiring issue could cause bulbs to fail prematurely.

What do you think?
