Electricity is dangerous, no doubt about it. Veteran HVAC technicians get careless and usually this leads to nothing more than a good scare.
When you do Las Vegas heating repair service you take some things for granted that are not always the case. Safety second! What? Why second?
Education first!
In order to have a circuit with 120 volts of alternating current, there must be 4 things present.
1. There must be a voltage source. This is where the voltage originates. This is called the supply line.
2. There must be a switch. There must be a way of turning the power on or off. This could be an actual switch or it could just be unplugging an appliance. Think of a light switch for the switch and a refrigerator for the plug.
3. There must be a load. This could be as easy as a light bulb which would be considered a resistive load, or it could be a motor which would be called an inductive load. Either way, the voltage has to be used up.
4. There must be a return for the voltage to go back to. Think of a two pronged plug of an alarm clock. One side will be the supply side and one will be the return side.
We’ll talk more about this later but we have to start with the basics.

Love the motto at the beginning, “Safety second, education first!” I think everyone should live by that rule. But thank you for all your information on electricity! I found it all very informative and helpful.
Hi Kevin,
Oh my goodness, yes, being around electricity and working with it does mean we all have to remember to practice our safety and security habits.
