Composite Video (Analog Signals): Devices that have composite video and stereo audio connectors require cables, switches, converters, amplifiers, and adapters.

Few Simple Steps To Go Green And Save Money

Too often we think that “Going Green” means spending more money. Energy efficient products are often more expensive on the front end, and even if we know we save big in the long run, it can be hard to pay that initial expense.

There’s always going to be energy waste at some businesses, but there are ways to bring it under control and save money in the meantime.

Be Picky About Which Machines You Use Whenever possible, use machines that serve more than one purpose. Each piece of office equipment produces tons of toxic substances during manufacturing and disposal. When you use one machine for copying, printing, scanning, and faxing, you’ve saved quite a bit of money and toxic waste.

Also look for Energy Star qualified electronics. These might be a little pricier, but they will save you in energy costs over time.

Pay Attention to Lighting Lighting is one of the simplest ways to save on energy costs, as well as make your office a more productive place to work.

These tips are simple, yet often overlooked. Turn off lighting when you leave. (If your employees are bad about remembering this, consider installing motion sensors.) Use as much natural light as you can, and buy compact fluorescents to cut down on energy consumed.

Go–And Stay–Digital Do all of your employees really need a print out for the meeting’s agenda? Why not email it to everyone, or share a Google Drive among the office?

Most paperwork can be kept online these days, from invoices to presentations. Be very, very picky about what gets printed, and you’ll be surprised at how long that ream of paper will last.

These are some simple ways to cut energy costs, but at Schaffhouser Electric, we’re experts in green technology, Give us a call and we’ll talk about personal estimates tailored to your particular office.

The Night Before Christmas: Schaffhouser Electric Edition

‘Twas right before Christmas, when all through the shop The elves were beaming, knowing that no child would be forgot The gifts had been wrapped, packed in the sleigh with care But this is the first time in ages the North Pole has been so prepared You see, normally Santa sits there with his hands on his head Stressed beyond belief, and only seeing red But this year Mrs. Clause had just had enough So she called Schaffhouser Electric to handle the hard stuff There’s a chance you’ve never given it much thought But order was needed, and chaos was not Being in charge of Christmas is a big job to manage And just a few small mistakes can cause a lot of damage Santa’s workshop is a huge operation Full of cookies and cheer, but not much innovation A control system had to be put into place A well organized call center, proper circuits and a database So Santa sent his reindeers on a special trip To pick up our engineers to help Christmas come together without a glitch So the Schaffhouser team was off to the North Pole With their plans perfectly prepared, they knew they could achieve the goal They promised that they would get the factory into tip top condition But this wasn’t just any job, it was for the workshop’s very own Control System! Our guys got to work, without a moment to waste, And it was all pulled together in a manner of haste By the time all was said and done Santa couldn’t believe his eyes He smiled at Mrs. Clause and exclaimed “Oh, My!” Mirco controllers and machinery galore! Electrical sets and processors wired down to the core! With the flick of a switch and the push of a button The elves got to dancing, and some rugs they were cuttin’! Baseball bats and race cars, tea sets and dolls All of these toys began to quickly line the walls! Christmas was saved with a moment to spare The Schaffhouser guys pulled it off, they really did care! So in celebration the mugs were filled with hot coco And the room cheered as they heard Ho! Ho! Ho! Old Saint Nick let out a chuckle, Then he quickly put on his coat and gave his boots a buckle It was time for him and his reindeer to be on their way But not without having something to say He looked at the kind folks that had gotten it done He said “Schaffhouser Electric, this was fun! This work shop runs better than it ever has, I made sure you’re on the nice list, and all of that jazz! I can’t thank you enough, from the bottom of my heart Wish I could stay and chat, but it’s time for me to depart!” Rudolph led the pack up, but before they were up and out of sight Santa exclaimed “Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”

From all of us at Schaffhouser Electric, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and look forward to serving all of your needs in 2016. If you’re like Santa and need help with your control system, just give us a ring!

Why You Need an Electrical Engineer

The general contractor could assemble all of his subcontractors. The electricians might have some thoughts on how to wire the house. The drywall guys would know how to hang drywall and the roofers would know to order some tiles. An experienced general contractor knows what goes into building a house. Surely with all that collective expertise, they could win it.

Without plans, though, none of their expertise matters. Before you build anything, you need plans drawn by a professional. Otherwise, you end up with a mish mash of raw materials, but most likely not a livable house.

Electrical engineers are the architects of all electrical projects. They’re the guys you turn to with questions about codes, standards, and regulations. Whether it’s a new building or a renovation, an electrical engineer will be able to draw up the plans for our technicians to follow.

The field of electrical engineering was born in the 1800s as industry began to boom. Over the last century and a half, it’s grown and morphed into several subdisciplines. Our electrical engineers are experts in local building codes and electrical solutions. They’re fully certified, and spend lots of time keeping up to date on new developments in the industry.

Go Green And Save Money Simply

Too often we think that “Going Green” means spending more money. Energy efficient products are often more expensive on the front end, and even if we know we save big in the long run, it can be hard to pay that initial expense.

Buy Remanufactured Ink and Toner Cartridges

Remanufactured cartridges save about 2.5 pounds of plastic and metal, keeping it out of landfills. It’s also estimated that each one saves about a gallon of oil, which is used during manufacturing.

More importantly, they cost about 15% less than new cartridges, making your supply budget go that much further.

Pay Attention to Lighting Lighting is one of the simplest ways to save on energy costs, as well as make your office a more productive place to work.

Check out Schaffhouser Electric 4 favorite kitchen lighting tips

Like it or not, the kitchen usually becomes the gathering place in a home. Whether it’s hungry kids waiting on dinner or guests wanting to chat with the host, everyone comes together in the kitchen. Yet the most important room in the house is often poorly lit.

How should kitchens be lit? Check out our four favorite kitchen lighting tips:

Track Lighting

Track lighting is one of the best lighting solutions for a kitchen. There are endless options for configuring track lighting in your kitchen and the fixtures can be situated to shine right where you need them. And not where you don’t. You can install track lighting that uses regular bulbs, or you can find lights that use LED if you’re more energy conscious. LED track lights are slightly more expensive at the outset, but the energy savings over time will more than pay back the investment.

Undercabinet Lighting

Even with great track lighting, your body and the cabinets can often block light coming from the ceiling. Under cabinet lighting is the perfect pairing with track lighting. Under cabinet lights provide more direct light to the chopping and mixing happening on the counter, which makes the kitchen safer.

Dimmer Switch

Putting your lights on a dimmer switch is one of the oldest tricks in the book, and it works just as well in the kitchen. Changing to a dimmer switch allows you to use the highest wattage bulb your fixtures will take. Then, you have the flexibility of adjusting to suit your needs. Thanksgiving dinner with 100 helpers in the room? You can throw the dimmers all the way up.

Windows

Our last kitchen lighting tip seems so simple, but is often overlooked. Any home is more pleasant when it’s full of natural light. If you have windows in your kitchen, use only the barest blinds or curtains you need for privacy to take full advantage of the natural light coming into the room. Great natural light enhances any indoor lighting system, and that’s true in the kitchen, too.

Energy Saving Tips For Summer by Schaffhouser Electric

If you’re like most of the population, you’re wondering how to maximize comfort and minimize cost in the sweltering sun of the summer. The old-fashioned methods of self-cooling like walking around naked and wrapping a frozen towel around your head are only appropriate in certain contexts; unfortunately, most of us aren't in the position to avail ourselves of those cheap and easy means of heat relief. Relying on central AC doesn't condemn you automatically to an expensive slew of energy bills, though.

One good place to start is the kitchen; though it may not be your intuitive first guess, the kitchen is the site of many small decisions that can have a big impact on your energy bill’s bottom line. For example, choosing to cook your meals in the microwave rather than on the stove top requires only 1/3 as much energy, thus saving you a pretty penny without much difference in result. Another counterintuitive means of energy saving is using your dishwasher rather than putting in the sweat equity of washing the dishes yourself. You actually save water with a one-time wash for all the dishes at once compared to an individual manual wash. Finally, the fridge operates on a lower energy consumption level when it’s fuller, because it does less work to return to its equilibrium temperature after being opened when there is less room for warm air to enter.

A second convenient site for energy saving in summertime is the air conditioning system itself. Setting the thermostat to an ideal target range of 78 degrees when you’re in the house and relying on it, and then turning it up to 85 degrees when the house is empty, can keep you in the range that is both comfortable and affordable. Paying attention the air conditioner filters as well can ensure that the system is operating as efficiently as possible without wasting energy pushing past debris that has accumulated. Speaking of filters, checking the filters in your washing machine and swimming pool (if you have one) are two more easy ways to make sure you’re trimming unnecessary costs and saving all your money for the pure cost of temperate comfort. Best of luck, and remember, a glass of lemonade goes a long way!
