These three are doing quiet work in the background of your home every day. 🍀

The AFCI watches for arcing faults.
The GFCI protects against shock where water is present.
The circuit breaker shuts things down when a circuit is overloaded.

Before circuit breakers, we used fuses — a fusible part heats up and severs when too much current passes through. Same job, older method.

Some homeowners won't touch anything mechanical. Others fancy themselves the next Super DIYer.

Either way, you should know the basics of your home's electrical system — what it is and how it works. It'll come in handy the next time you're dealing with electricity, and more importantly, it could keep you and your house safe.

Over the next few posts, we're breaking down the terms worth knowing. 💡

Custom Approaches for Specific Needs

There's no such thing as a standard electrical problem — so why would we use a standard solution?

Pat Murphy Electric isn't a franchise. Every one of our technicians, in Atlanta and in Knoxville, is held to the same standard of service, because that standard comes from us, not from a corporate playbook. When we opened our second office in Knoxville in 2007, we brought our principles with us.

As a WBENC Certified woman- and minority-owned business, we bring integrity, diversity, and strong leadership to every project we take on. And our highly trained technicians bring something just as important: attention. They listen to your concerns, assess what's actually going on, and take the time to solve it the right way — the first time.

No shortcuts. No one-size-fits-all. Just the right fix for your specific needs.

Did you know? ⚡🍀
There's enough electric co-op line in Georgia to wrap around the Earth nearly 8 times.

Georgia's 41 electric membership cooperatives maintain roughly 197,000 miles of distribution line — reaching 73% of the state's land area and about 5 million Georgians. Most of it runs through rural country where the lines are longest and the customers are farthest apart.

After a storm, "everything seems fine" isn't the same as fine. ⛈️

Surges can degrade power supplies and control boards without destroying them — the failure shows up weeks later, long after anyone thinks to blame the weather.

Four things to check after severe weather:
🔹 Surge protection (may be spent)
🔹 Emergency & egress lighting
🔹 Generator and transfer switch
🔹 Anything that flickered or rebooted

High-bay LED conversions with motion-activated controls
Aisle-by-aisle occupancy zoning
Daylight sensor integration through skylights
Emergency egress lighting systems
Preventative maintenance programs

Your breakers aren't failing in August by coincidence. 🍀

August is when Atlanta's electrical systems work hardest. Rooftop units and compressors cycle almost continuously, and every one of them pulls a heavy surge of current at startup. On a panel that's already near capacity, that surge is what finally trips the breaker.

The trip isn't the problem. It's the symptom.

What we typically find behind repeat summer trips:

→ A panel sized for the building's original load, not for the equipment added over the last two decades
→ Circuits carrying more than they were designed for after tenant improvements or an expansion
→ Aging breakers that no longer hold at their rated capacity
→ Loose connections generating heat that gets worse as ambient temperature climbs
→ Server closets and IT rooms with no dedicated circuit and no cooling redundancy

Resetting a breaker over and over is not a fix. It's a countdown.

If your Atlanta property has tripped more than once this summer, the underlying load issue is worth diagnosing now — while it's still a scheduled service call and not a Friday afternoon emergency.

Still paying to light empty rooms?

A lot of commercial buildings are. Older fluorescent and incandescent systems have no way to sense whether a space is occupied — so the lights run full blast whether there are 40 people in the room or none.

Automated lighting changes that. Occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting, programmable scene controls, and zone-by-zone dimming mean your building only uses the light it actually needs.

At Pat Murphy Electric, we believe a contractor's greatest investment isn't in tools or trucks — it's in people.

Through programs like the IEC apprenticeship, we help our team members grow from apprentices into skilled journeymen and, for many, into leadership roles within our company. It's an investment that pays off twice: once in the skill and confidence our employees gain, and again in the loyalty and dedication they bring back to the team.

🤝 𝐈𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥. We look for team members who are quick to learn, eager to grow, and ready to lead.

📈 𝐈𝐭 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲. From apprentice to journeyman to project manager, we create real paths for advancement.

🏡 𝐈𝐭 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐦𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥. When we invest in our people, they invest in us — and that's where loyalty and longevity begin.

We consider our team family, and just like a family, we build each other up. That's the foundation Pat Murphy Electric has been built on for 40+ years, and it's why we continue to do business 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐖𝐚𝐲, 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐎𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐖𝐚𝐲.
