As spring emerges, thoughts of colorful days, warm nights, and friendly backyard gatherings and a flood of unaccomplished projects race through my mind.  I think of the walkways leading to the door of my home, I ask myself, is it safe?  Is there enough light in the evenings on the pathways to assure safe travel to and from the house?  Or maybe this is the year the pond or water feature I have been dreaming about will be installed.

Did you know that in the U.S., about 7 children per day are treated in ERs for receptacle-related incidents — more than 24,000 over 10 years?  (Based on 10 years of CPSC data)

Electrical outlets are usually installed at a height at or near a child’s eye level, and a child’s curiosity can draw them to explore, making electrical outlets a source of worry for many parents.

The chance of electrocution is small, but the results can be devastating.

A study conducted in 1997, by CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) found:

• 86 percent of reported injuries involved children 1 to 4 years old
• The highest frequency of home electrical injuries occurred at mealtimes
• The most commonly used foreign objects inserted into outlets were keys and hairpins

Most of us are familiar with plastic outlet protectors.  The prongs fit directly into the outlet holes, preventing the insertion of foreign objects.  In a study conducted of 37 children in 1997 by the Biokinetics Research Laboratory of Temple University confirmed the reservations of many parents and their thoughts on the effectiveness of these devices.

• 47 percent of 4-year-old and 31 percent of 2-year-olds could remove protectors with a round, flat face and two prongs
• 47 percent of 4-year-old and 18 percent of 2-year-olds could remove protectors with a 3/16 inch thick oval face and a tapered side
• 100 percent of 2-year-old and 4-year-olds could remove protectors with a 1/16 inch oval face and a flat side

Can you retrofit an older house with tamper-resistant receptacles?

Absolutely. Tamper-resistant receptacles install like standard ones and are completely interchangeable.

Did you know incentives have increase in 2010?

Financial incentives range from up to 50 or 70 percent of the total project costs, OR the total of the BPA per unit (deemed) incentive, whichever is lowest.

Recent advances in lighting technology can increase energy efficiency and reduce maintenance costs. Modeled after the Bonneville Power Administration lighting program, CLIP (Commercial / Industrial Lighting Incentive Program) provides financial incentives for building owners to improve the efficiency of their building’s lighting technology. Clark County Public Utility along with Haskin Electric can offer a lighting audit and provide energy efficient, short cost recovery lighting upgrades. This program is also available for new construction projects.

What programs are offered for existing buildings?

COMMERCIAL: For approved retrofit lighting upgrades invoiced in 2010, the incentive caps at up to 50 percent of the total project costs, OR the total of the BPA per unit (deemed) incentive, whichever is lowest.

INDUSTRIAL: For approved retrofit lighting upgrades invoiced in 2010, the incentive caps at up to 70 percent of the total project costs, OR the total of the BPA per unit (deemed) incentive, whichever is lowest.

What programs are offered for new construction lighting projects?

Commercial and Industrial customers are eligible to participate in the CLIP new construction program which offers a per unit (deemed) incentive amount.
